Greek Ancient Origins: Stories of People & Civilisation by J.K. Jackson & Lindsay Powell (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)

Greek Myths & Legends: Tales of Heroes, Gods & Monsters by J.K. Jackson & Dr. Steve Kershaw (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)

From the birth of Zeus to Prometheus, Pandora and Helen of Troy, Odysseus and Jason and the Argonauts, the myths of the Greeks are passionate and powerfully told. The gods are jealous of each other's powers, subject to mighty outbursts of love and always seeking vengeance. The dark forces of the ancient world were held at bay by the resourceful and emerging civilisation that formed the basis of Western culture, providing a tradition of fabulous tales retold here. This collection offers the mighty exploits of Zeus, the twelve tasks of Heracles, and the Titans, highlighting the origins of modern fiction in myth and fable.

A beautiful edition with a new introduction to the gods and heroes of Ancient Greece, this gorgeous collector's edition brings these timeless stories to life. The Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction—authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist—bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each volume features a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
