Classical Mythology 11th Edition

Classical Mythology, Eleventh Edition by Mark Morford, Robert J. Lenardon, and Michael Sham — Published by Oxford University Press

The most comprehensive survey of classical mythology available and the first full-color textbook of its kind, this edition brings to life the myths and legends of Greece and Rome in a lucid and engaging style through the authors' clear and extensive translations of original sources.

The text draws from a wide range of Greek and Latin works, including Homer, Hesiod, all the Homeric Hymns, Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Plato, Lucian, Lucretius, Vergil, Ovid, and Seneca. Through a dynamic combination of poetic narratives and enlightening commentary, the authors make the myths come alive for students while offering rich historical and cultural background, and examining the enduring survival of classical mythology and its influence across art, literature, music, dance, and film.

Mark P.O. Morford is Professor Emeritus of Classics at the University of Virginia, Robert J. Lenardon is Professor Emeritus of Classics at The Ohio State University, and Michael Sham is Professor of Classics at Siena College — three distinguished scholars whose combined expertise makes this an authoritative and essential resource for anyone exploring the world of ancient myth.
