The Greek Myths is Graves’s prose retelling and interpretation of the major myths of ancient Greece. It gathers stories of gods, heroes, royal houses, monsters, divine rivalries and foundation legends, moving from creation myths and Olympian genealogy to heroic cycles such as Heracles, the Argonauts and the Trojan War. The book combines narrative summary with Graves’s own explanatory notes, treating myth as a body of inherited story linked to ritual, poetry, kingship and the imagined prehistory of the Greek world.
