Classical Mythology: A Very Short Introduction
Helen Morales
"This book goes beyond a simple retelling of stories to explore the rich history and diverse interpretations of classical mythology. Examining how the myths are used and understood in both high art and popular culture, it takes the reader from the bedrooms of Pompeii to skyscrapers in New York, and finds classical myths in a variety of unexpected places: from Arabic poetry and Hollywood films to psychoanalysis, the Bible, and New Age spiritualism."--BOOK JACKET.
