It has been fifteen years since Kenneth C. Davis first dazzled audiences with his instant classic Don’t Know Much About® History. His humor, wit, and a knack for storytelling has been bringing readers of all ages up to speed on history, geography, and science ever since. Now, the classic traditions of Edith Hamilton and Joseph Campbell, he turns his talents to the world of myth.
In his irreverent and popular question-and-answer style, Davis introduces and explains the great myths of the world. Ever familiar and instructive, Davis shows why the ancient tales of gods and heroes continue to speak to us today, in our movies, art, language, and music. For mythology novices and buffs alike, and for anyone who loves a good story, DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT® MYTHOLOGY is a lively and insightful look into the greatest stories ever told.
