Features: In Greek mythology, the greatest are the two epics of the blind "Poet of the West" Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey, while other myths seem chaotic and rambling. In the 19th century, the German Romantic poet Gustav Schwab, with the unique rigor and systematic spirit of the Germans, compiled this Greek Mythology with a complete plot and clear genealogy. From the 19th century to the present day, his work has been the most widely used Greek mythology textbook in the world, selling well in countries worldwide and translated into major languages. The content of this book includes the Upper Volume Golden and Silver Volume, Prometheus stealing fire from the heavens, the age of humans created by the gods, the great flood for escape, the trials of Io, Phaethon burning himself by playing with fire, Europa abducted, Cadmus slaying a dragon and building a new city, the punishment of impious Autonous, Perseus saving a beauty, the master craftsman Daedalus, Ions' adventure in finding his family, Meleager divided by a thread, the triple punishment of Tantalus, Perseus winning a bride by racing in a chariot, Niobe bringing disaster upon his family, Bellerophon's adventures to atone for his sins, the life of the brave Theseus, the terrifying fate of the wise and brave Oedipus, the love-hate relationship between the hero Jason and the witch Medea, and the mighty Heracles defeating demons and monsters.
