书籍简介

从偷火的普罗米修斯到偷风景的特洛伊海伦，从杰森和他的金色羊毛到俄狄浦斯和他的母亲，这本希腊神话的经典故事集展示了永恒的文化遗产永不枯竭的生命力。这些关于英雄和有权有势的神与女神的故事，以简洁而感人的语言，保留了埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯、欧里庇得斯和荷马原著的魅力和戏剧性。

From fire-stealing Prometheus to scene-stealing Helen of Troy, from Jason and his golden fleece to Oedipus and his mother, this collection of classic tales from Greek mythology demonstrates the inexhaustible vitality of a timeless cultural legacy. These stories of heroes and powerful gods and goddesses are set forth simply and movingly, in language that retains the power and drama of the original works by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Homer.
