Jean Lang’s A Book of Myths is a gracefully written anthology that brings together the most compelling myths from Greek, Roman, Norse, and other world traditions. Lang retells each story with literary care, allowing the emotional truth of the myths — love, jealousy, heroism, transformation — to shine through without sacrificing the poetry of the originals.
From Orpheus and Eurydice to the Norse creation myth, this is an ideal introduction to world mythology for general readers and a pleasure to revisit for those already familiar with the tales. This free EPUB is beautifully reformatted for any device.
