*read for greek myth class*

read way too much of this textbook to not add it on here. i guess i can say ovid's poetry is amazing, hesiod's work is the most extensive, and apollodorus goes on forever my god the guy loves detail

There a number of smaller texts in Greek mythology besides Homer, and plenty of these have been conveniently gathered together in Trzakoma's edition. Since Trzakoma can hardly be held responsible, for good or ill, for the content of these centuries-old texts, it is better here to note that this volume includes useful introductions to the various texts (would the students only read them...) and is in general composed of the smaller, bite-sized chunks of mythology that, in their smallness, are les There a number of smaller texts in Greek mythology besides Homer, and plenty of these have been conveniently gathered together in Trzakoma's edition.

I read this book for a class, and I did not read the entire thing. However, the substantial chunks we did read (that I did not keep track of) are so scattered throughout the anthology that it's hard to figure out what I did and didn't go through. The course readings are finished, however, and as is my current use for this book. Basically it's done, but I still feel a little guilty for marking it as read and potentially not having read the entire thing.

I am knee deep in Hesiod's Theogony !!! this is amazing if you like mythology. This is a great translation that makes it easy to read. I am knee deep in Hesiod's Theogony !!! this is amazing if you like mythology. This is a great translation that makes it easy to read. ...more

As dedicated readers already know, some of the best and most innovative stories on the shelves come from the constantly evolving realm of...

"I deny that this happened. First, it is impossible for one animal to make love to another if the female does not have a vagina that matches the male's genitals. It is not possible for a dog and a monkey or a wolf and a hyena to mate with each other. Even an antelope cannot mate with a deer, for they are of different species. Even if they did mate with each other, it is not possible for them to produce young. I do not think a bull had intercourse with a wooden cow in the first place, for all four-legged animals smell the genitals of the animal before mating with it and only then mount it. And the woman could not have endured a bull mounting her. A woman could also not carry a fetus with horns." — 0 likes
