In the Preface, Hamilton introduces her approach to retelling ancient myths, noting that the stories of Mythology were told across 1,200 years by very different writers (xi). We follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. Preface Summary Content Warning: This book includes descriptions of sexual violence, family violence, bigoted language, suicidal ideation, incest, kidnapping, and death. This was the first book of mythology that I ever read and it is still the best. Her 'Mythology' tell the 'Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes' of classical mythology and this volume, first written in 1942, is now a timeless classic itself.
