Wonders Of The Mythological World

If I were to ask you to explain God or his world

, I would perhaps get a slap or maybe stories that would take more than a lifetime to discern. In this practical and harsh world there has been only one constant in human lives and that is God and his mythological world. It is beyond doubt that religion continues to be the opium of masses and it will be there till there is mankind. So as every being on this planet tries to takes refuge in God, we give you some recommended and most popular books by some best selling authors.

The Odyssey by Homer, Robert Fagles and Bernard Knox

The Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey through life. In the myths and legends that are retold here, renowned translator Robert Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savour, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.

Mythology by Edith Hamilton and Steele Savage

Edith Hamilton's Mythology succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern reader the Greek, Roman, and Norse myths that are the keystone of Western culture--the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present. We meet the Greek gods on Olympus and Norse gods in Valhalla. We follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. We hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, Cupid and Psyche, and mighty King Midas. We discover the origins of the names of the constellations. And we recognize reference points for countless works of art, literature, and cultural inquiry--from Freud's Oedipus complex to Wagner's Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. Praised throughout the world for its authority and lucidity, Mythology is Edith Hamilton's masterpiece--the standard by which all other books on mythology are measured.

The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers and Betty Sue Flowers

Finally available in a popularly priced, non-illustrated, smaller-format edition, which is ideal for the college market and general reader alike, this extraordinary best-seller is a brilliant evocation of the noted scholar's teachings on mythology.
