A study of Greek mythology in relation to its original contexts.

Fine Margins is the definitive story of how Manchester City and Liverpool became rivals across English and world football. For over 50 years, these two clubs from opposite ends of the M62 have been perennial thorns in each other's side. Countless managers, players and directors have carried what Bill Shankly started into the modern era.

This is a study of Greek myths in relation to the society in which they were originally told. It does not re-tell the myths: rather it offers an analysis of how myths played a fundamental role in the lives of the Greeks.
