Both a helpful guide and a one-stop resource that can be consulted again and again, this book will prove an indispensable companion to the world of the ancient Greeks and the gods they worshipped.

Bernard Evslin (1922-1993), a graduate of Rutgers University, was an award-winning screenwriter and producer of documentary films before turning to writing in the mid-1960s. He wrote more than 30 books which re-told the great Greek myths and legends.
