Is anyone here familiar with a Russian writer named N. A. Kun? I have an old copy of his book on Greek myths from the 50s, my dad told me it was the definitive intro book for Greek myth behind the iron curtain for many decades. Never seen it mentioned here. Has anyone read it?

As for English books on mythology, all I've read is Edith Hamilton. It's very clear, systematic, organised, succinct; very Wikipedia-like, if you will. Maybe that sounds like a bad thing, but it's exactly what I was looking for.

It's not like he's the worst poet in the world, but this triggers me to no end. I don't want my tax dollars spent forcing kids to read his smut.
