Gods and Goddesses of the Greco-Roman World

How many Muses are there? Who were the original twelve Titans? Why is Zeus (Jupiter) associated with power stations, and Poseidon (Neptune) with salt-cellars? Who were Aphrodite’s (Venus’) handmaidens? In this beautiful little book, packed with rare early illustrations with which to identify the gods and goddesses, author Philippa Lewis reveals the extraordinary characters and haunting myths of the classical pantheon, and shows that their legacy still lives on around us today.
