I have the paperback version, published by Penguin, but haven't read it for years. Do a search on http://ebooks.addall.com to see if it's available as an ebook. |
Agreed 100%. Graves' "The Greek Myths" is generally regarded as "the definitive work". But ignore the bits between the stories where he gives his own, slightly odd, interpretation of them!
It was originally published as two volumes, but's was subsequently reprinted as a single book, which is the version I have.
Robert Graves is perhaps better known outside the academic community as being the author of "I, Claudius".
