520    "A hands-on traveler's guide to the enthralling tales of 
       Greek mythology, organized around the cities and 
       landscapes where the events are set The Greek myths have a
       universal appeal, beyond the time and physical place in 
       which they were created. But many are firmly rooted in 
       specific landscapes: the city of Thebes and mountain range
       Cithaeron dominate the tale of Oedipus; the city of 
       Mycenae broods over the fates of Agamemnon and Electra; 
       while Knossos boasts the scene of Theseus slaying of the 
       Minotaur. Drawing on a wide range of classical sources, 
       newly translated by the author, and illustrated with 
       specially commissioned drawings, this book is both a 
       useful read for those visiting the sites and a fascinating
       imaginative journey for the armchair traveler. The 
       itinerary includes twenty-two locations, from Mount 
       Olympus to Homers Hades, recounting the myths and history 
       associated with each site and highlighting features that 
       visitors can still see today. Scholarly text, supported by
       quotes from primary sources and contemporary research, as 
       well as the enticing stories of gods and goddesses, heroes
       and villains, enrich the readers literal or simply 
       literary experience of these sites, whose significance 
       still resonates today"--|cAmazon.com.
