2024 Reprint of the 1855 Edition. Drawing on the works of Homer, Ovid, Virgil, and other classical authors, as well as an immense trove of stories about the Norse gods and heroes, The Age of Fable offers lively presentation of the myths of the Greek and Roman gods: Venus and Adonis, Jupiter and Juno, Daphne and Apollo, the Druids, Norse legends, eastern mythology, Pythagoras and many others. The myths and legends so vividly retold in this volume underlie much of the art, literature, and culture of Western civilization. As Bulfinch put it, 'Without a knowledge of mythology, much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated.'
