Epic Mythology (1915)

Epic Mythology is a comprehensive analysis of the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome, written by Edward Washburn Hopkins and originally published in 1915. The book explores the origins and evolution of the epic tradition, from the earliest myths and legends to the great works of Homer and Virgil. Hopkins draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative mythology, to provide a detailed and engaging account of the gods, heroes, and monsters of the classical world. He examines the themes and motifs that recur throughout these stories, such as the struggle between order and chaos, the quest for immortality, and the power of fate and destiny. In addition to its scholarly insights, Epic Mythology is also a lively and readable work that will appeal to anyone interested in the rich and fascinating world of ancient mythology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
