希腊神话是古希腊人对周遭环境、四时时序、生命历程起初的想象与解释，反映了人类zui早的宇宙观、世界观和人生观。它奇崛瑰丽，富于诗意和哲理，是人类文明的源头之一，也是西方文学和众多艺术门类的基础。

没有小孩会小到，也没有大人会大到不能看希腊神话。在西方，没有希腊神话的教育是不完整的。经典来自于不懈的努力，世界著名童书绘本大师多莱尔夫妇曾经去希腊采风，感受和深入了解古希腊文明的细节。他们将庞杂的神话故事整理出清晰的谱系，用简练优美的语言讲述，形成一部真正的经典DAulaires Book of Greek Myths《多莱尔的希腊神话书》。

我们很难给它限定一个目标读者群。它不仅是一本大师的童书绘本，对希腊神话的梳理和讲述也堪称经典，以其清晰、完整和详略得当而著称。它几乎是任何年龄段的人都可以读的书。既适合识字看图的孩子，也适合被繁冗的希腊神话谱系绕晕的大人。

Now updated with a new cover and an afterword featuring never-before-published drawings from the sketchbook of Ingri and Edgar DAulaire, plus an essay about their life and work and photos from the family achive.
In print for over fifty years, DAulaires Book of Greek Myths has introduced generations to Greek mythology—and continues to enthrall young readers.
Here are the greats of ancient Greece—gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters—as freshly described in words and pictures as if they were alive today.
No other volume of Greek mythology has inspired as many young readers as this timeless classic. Both adults and children alike will find this book a treasure for years to come.

Review
"For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book . . . the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain forever matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty observation."--The Horn Book

"The drawings . . . are excellent and excitingly evocative."--The New York Times
INGRI DAULAIREandEDGAR PARIN DAULAIREfirst met in Munich, where both were studying art. Ingri had grown up in Norway; Edgar, the son of a noted Italian portrait painter, was born in Switzerland and had lived in Paris and Florence. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to the United States and began to create the picture books that established their reputation as two of the twentieth century’s most important children’s writers and illustrators. They won the Caldecott Medal in 1940 for Abraham Lincoln.

During an extended trip to Greece, they studied and sketched the countryside, the people, and the architecture and artifacts of long ago. The result was D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths, the standard-bearer of mythology for children since its publication in 1962.
