Alright /lit/

I love ancient Greek myths and legends

I want to read them as they were originally written

Anyone know a book with all of them?

I heard Metamorphoses is a good one

>> No.1524427

Metamorphoses doesn't have all of them, but it certainly ought to be in your canon. I would recommend the edition published by the Loeb library.

I don't think there's any omnibus of Greek myths.

I guess a more appropriate question would be does anyone know of a series of books (Doesn't have to be the same publisher)

>> No.1524445

I am reading Metamorphoses at the mo actually; kind of repetitive. Beating a dead horse with the whole changing into an animal thing every story.

Metamorphoses are the Roman/Ovid's versions though.

I'm actually curious about this too. I know there's Edith Hamilton's Mythology, but where do you go to find the original text?
