THE MYTHS OF HELLAS is an exhaustive work by Carlos Parada, author of Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology (1993) and creator of the web site Greek Mythology Link (1997).
The Myths of Hellas represents an expansion of the author's previous work, and is the mature result of decades of acquaintance with the myths' timeless lessons in beauty, signficance, clarity and simplicity.
The Charts and Maps, contained in Volume III (142 pages) of THE MYTHS OF HELLAS complement the first two volumes of this fully referenced work, previously published in 2022. Volume III contains more than 100 Genealogical charts, 12 Contextual Charts, and 9 detailed Maps.
Volume II (515 pages, 470,062 words) includes extensive lists, tales of cities and peoples, throne successions and genealogies, comprehensive reports on the Theban and Trojan Wars, a geographical reference with more than 1000 names, lucid articles on relevant mythological subjects, and a complementary dictionary with references to more than 6000 characters.
Volume I (389 pages, 341,333 words) contains more than 200 detailed biographies of the most important characters.
Interlaced ancient quotations give depth to the narrative. The mythical accounts are based exclusively on primary sources (more than 60 ancient authors) which appear close to the material they support.
The three volumes are in A4 format. Volumes I and II have two columns. You may request via email a PDF detailing the contents of all three volumes.
