Greek myths have survived in the form they have in large measure because of the cultural artifacts they've influenced. Other ancient, and now no longer active religions, have not permeated western literature, philosophy, and art as extensively as the ancient Greek religion. In a previous millennium its influence was significantly extended with the Roman adoption, with modification and expansion, of Greek religion and culture. The influence of Greek myths is pervasive, even today, in language and literature. This work captures the range and scope of these myths, possibly, in a more comprehensive and exhaustive manner than any other previous work.
The intriguing and fascinating retelling of these myths, by the author of "I, Claudius", is categorized into Chapters, e.g. "Beginnings", ..."Revolts Against the Gods", ..."The Trojan War", etc. Within each chapter myths are discussed in turn. Each myth and its variations is succinctly described. This is followed by Graves' analysis of the genesis and evolution of the myth. His presentations of these myths have been justly praised, while his exegetical interpretations have, with some justification, been subject to negative criticism. Graves tends to interpret different myths as variations of the same theme, where its difficult, even for experts, to see the same connections the author does.
