Kevin Osborn & Dana L. Burgess, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Classical Mythology (2nd Edition)"

An exploration of timeless legends.

First told centuries ago, the ancient myths of the Greeks and Romans continue to fascinate and influence the world today. The expanded edition of this popular guide examines why these legends remain an integral part of human history, citing their literary value, and their presence throughout popular culture in such works as J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, and the Coen brothers' film O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

Features a 50-page "who's who" glossary of classical mythological characters—from both the Greek and Roman versions
An updated look at recent movies and television series' based on mythology, including Helen of Troy, HBO's animated Odyssey, and the Disney Channel's Hercules

From the Back Cover

You're no idiot, of course. You know the ancient myths are more than bedtime stories for children—or visual images reflected in contemporary advertising. These legendary stories appeal to generation after generation because their common themes unite humanity regardless of birthplace, race, or religion.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Classical Mythology, Second Edition, features both the Greek and Roman versions of these millennia-old tales. In this revised and updated Complete Idiot's Guide, you get:

A complete listing of all mythological gods, heroes, and creatures, including fascinating descriptions.
Why there are so many parallels between the Roman and Greek myths.
Gripping accounts of the adventures of Odysseus, Perseus, and Jason and the Argonauts
The dramatic original story of Achilles, Hector, and the Trojan War.
