Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece

Schwab’s original material delicately revised and complemented by occasional annotations.
The Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece by Gustav Schwab (1792 – 1850) have been classics for decades. Even today we encounter figures and motifs from the Trojan myths in plays and operas, in museums on antique vases and modern paintings, in comics, film, and TV. Therefore, it still comes in handy knowing the most important epic cycle of ancient times – the stories of Troy, the Odyssee, and its heroes.

Author

Gustav Schwab (1792 - 1850) was a priest, secondary school teacher and writer. With “Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece”, which he made publicly available in 1838, he created a classic in German children's and YA literature.


Foreword

Prof. Dr. Hartwin Brandt earned his PhD at the University of Kiel. After stopovers in Tübingen, Leipzig and Chemnitz, he came to Bamberg where he has held a chair for ancient history since 2002. Guest professorships brought him to England (Exeter) and the US (Providence and Princeton). He is the author of a number of books and is also present in public media.


Adapter

Dorothea von der Höh, born in 1963, studied German, History and Education in Münster. In the process, she got to know the ancient Romans and Greeks and was fascinated by their mythology as well as stories about gods, heroes and demons. She works as a freelance editor and lives with her family and many animals at the Lower Rhine.
