Bulfinch's Guide. It's pretty massive, but only the first section is Greek, then the last 2/3 covers Egyptian, Norse and other European stuff.

Every story is broken down and it's easy to go back and reference when you need to. He also ties in poetry for each myth so you can see how it gets used symbolically.

Start with the Iliad and the Odyssey and then move on to the Metamorphoses, the Greek tragic plays, and the Theogony.

Robert Graves and Edith Hamilton both wrote passable introductions that include enough information to allow you to read further/original source material.
