This is good if you have no knowledge at all and don't want to read Wikipedia articles
otherwise just read the original sources if you can handle them. Ovid and Homer
>>7554924
forgot to add:
Theogony - Hesiod
>>7554924
No Robert Graves?

Interchangeable with Hamilton

Always start with Oedipus Rex

Just read The Metamorphoses.
Graze a wiki or two just for context on the main pantheon and then jump right into the iliad and odyssey.

I have the Robert Graves one.
Is it good? I'm learning a lot from it.

Better than Hamilton.
E. Halmiton is a shit book. The best books of mythology are in portuguese and spanish.
