Richard comments that it was “one of the most popular books ever published in the United States and the standard work on classical mythology for nearly a century,” until the release of classicist Edith Hamilton’s 1942 Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes.The book is a prose recounting of myths and stories from three eras: Greek and Roman mythology, King Arthur legends and medieval romances.
