Building on the bestselling tradition of previous editions, Classical Mythology, Tenth Edition, is the most comprehensive survey of classical mythology available--and the first full-color textbook of its kind. Featuring the authors' clear and extensive translations of original sources, it brings to life the myths and legends of Greece and Rome in a lucid and engaging style. The text contains a wide variety of faithfully translated passages from Greek and Latin sources, including Homer, Hesiod, all the Homeric Hymns, Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Plato, Lucian, Lucretius, Vergil, Ovid, and Seneca.

Acclaimed authors Mark P.O. Morford, Robert J. Lenardon, and Michael Sham incorporate a dynamic combination of poetic narratives and enlightening commentary to make the myths come alive for students. Offering historical and cultural background on the myths (including evidence from art and archaeology) they also provide ample interpretative material and examine the enduring survival of classical mythology and its influence in the fields of art, literature, music, dance, and film.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Classical Mythology is the best text available; an excellent and complete introduction. Its strengths include its thoroughness, readability, informative notes and appendices, glossary, indices, and format."--Richard A. Spencer, Appalachian State University

"Classical Mythology gives students a firm foundation for completely understanding myths. Its structure and organization is the main reason that I greatly favor this text over its competitors. In addition, the family trees are very detailed, the excerpts from the many myths are very helpful, and the length of the excerpts is perfect."--Sherri Mussatto, Rose State College

"The principle advantage of this text is that it is better rounded and more thorough about the context of the myths without being cumbersome or pedantic. The range of coverage is also very impressive. I think that this book strikes the right balance between print and image and between summary and exposition."--Carolyn Whitson, Metropolitan State University

Book Description

The classic text for teaching classical mythology--in full color and affordably priced, with more instructor support than ever before

This Classical Mythology book is very knowledgeable. It gives the main version of the myth, but also talks about the other versions that are out there. There is also a list of additional sources at the end of each chapter that makes it very easy to look into anything that you found interesting in that chapter.

Would have given it a 5-star rating; however, some of the pages are really discolored, unclean looking, a lot of dog-eared pages, and bent cover page. But it does do the job, no pages seem to be missing so far and it is still readable.

Got this book for a summer class. It is well maintained. I only gave it 3 stars due to the fact that is has been marked up with a pen. Someone took their notes on the pages. It is still readable, but looks very messy and sometimes distracting. I know these are used, but there should be a little quality control on them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for students of mythology
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2017

Excellent and detailed reference textbook, perfectly recommended as a companion to OU's Mythology course.

I wrote 'detailed' above and that is probably the best description of it - there is more than enough information for the interested person and a sound core of understanding and direction for the academic to build on. Likely best used for focussed reference - I can scarcely imagine trying to read it through - and this is made very easy by its indexes.
