Every culture that has ever existed has told stories about its gods — and for nearly two centuries, one book has been the gateway to those stories for English-speaking readers.
Bulfinch's Mythology brings together the three great works of Thomas Bulfinch in a single complete edition: The Age of Fable, a sweeping retelling of Greek and Roman myth; The Age of Chivalry, which covers the legends of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the heroes of Celtic tradition; and The Legends of Charlemagne, exploring the romance and glory of the medieval world.
From Zeus and Hera to Perseus and Hercules, from Lancelot and Guinevere to the paladins of Charlemagne — Bulfinch tells these timeless stories with clarity, scholarship, and a deep love for the classical tradition. Originally published between 1855 and 1863, his work remains the most widely read introduction to world mythology in the English language, and an indispensable companion to literature, art, and history from antiquity to the Middle Ages.
Whether you are discovering mythology for the first time or returning to it after years away, this is the book you need. Add it to your library today.
