Beginning with the creation and the Titans, Guerber moves god by god through Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Apollo and the rest of Olympus before turning to the heroes — Perseus, Hercules, Theseus, Jason — and the Trojan War. Quotations from poets from Hesiod to Tennyson show how each story has been retold in literature and art.
