Bulfinch’s Mythology: Stories of Gods and Heroes

Stories of Gods and Heroes, originally published in 1855, is the first of three works that make upBulfinch’s Mythology, by Thomas Bulfinch. A useful and concise guide to the gods and goddesses of Greek and Roman mythology, this text was used in history classrooms for over a century. Bulfinch’s writing is an attempt to expand the enjoyment of classic literature for the common reader, explaining the allusions made to mythology in so many other titles of the day.
