The Universe, the Gods, and Men

A bestseller in France, Vernant`s narration of the Greek myths was inspired by his grandson`s request for a good bedtime story. When Vernant told the tales of the ancient Greeks, his grandson was riveted. Here, translated into English, he presents his lively retellings, providing commentary on their origins and meanings.
