Requests:  0 Summary:  Who were the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome? What did they mean to the people who worshiped them? Although their time of widespread worship has long passed, the Greek and Roman gods have fascinated and inspired writers and artists for millennia. From Aphrodite to Apollo, Poseidon to Zeus, these are some of the most recognizable characters in Western culture, yet there is a much richer past behind famous paintings of the birth of Aphrodite or the bold iconography of Zeus and his thunderbolts.The Greek and Roman gods are enthralling characters in the enduringly powerful Iliad, Odyssey and Metamorphoses. They are immortal and powerful yet also vain, vindictive and vulnerable. Moreover, as manifestations of death, fertility, love and war, the gods are also our key to understanding how the Greeks and Romans saw their world. Philip Matyszak presents this pantheon in all their complexity, guiding us from Mount Olympus to the depths of Hades. Each chapter focuses on an individual god or goddess, beginning with their 'biography' as understood by the Greeks and Romans and exploring the origins of the legends. Matyszak mixes history with vivid retellings of the myths in which the gods have a starring role, from stories of cosmic creation and universal war to disastrous weddings and freak discus accidents. This sumptuously illustrated guide to the gods of Greece and Rome is a must-have for anyone interested in mythology and classical civilization.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked out 06/27/2024 Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 292.211 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
