Get to know the ancient Greek gods and goddesses...and find out why their stories are still so enthralling today.

Discover how to identify each god, demigod, hero or monster from the ancient Greek world through their attributes and symbols, learn about their most famous stories from ancient sources and myths, and find out how these characters were viewed and worshipped in classical times.

From Aphrodite to to Dionysus, Helen of Troy to the Minotaur, bestselling author and classicist Caroline Lawrence brings together all the information you need to really get to know the gods and goddesses. Classical sources such as the Homeric epics, ancient art and archaeological finds inform each god's profile, while sections on mythical figures in contemporary culture show how these gods and their stories have stood the test of time. Classical illustrator Flora Kirk's stunning, colorful artworks accompany each profile, making this a beautiful, must-have companion guide to the myths.

Caroline Lawrence was born in London, England and grew up in California. She studied Classics at Berkeley, where she won a Marshall Scholarship to Cambridge. There, at Newnham College, she studied Classical Art and Archaeology. After Cambridge, Caroline remained in England, and later took an MA in Hebrew and Jewish Studies at University College, London.

Caroline is the bestselling author of a number of children's books, including the 17-book Roman Mysteries series, which has gone on to sell many hundreds of thousands of copies. Her books have been translated in dozens of languages and have been adapted for television. In 2009, Caroline won the Classical Association Prize for 'a significant contribution to the public understanding of Classics'.

All Caroline's books combine her love of art history, ancient languages and travel. Her other passions include cinema, travel and London. Caroline has a son Simon, from a previous marriage, and she now lives by the river in London with her husband Richard.

Flora Kirk is a UK-based freelance illustrator specializing in visual depictions of the ancient Mediterranean world. She loves to create art inspired by archaeology sites, ancient myths, and visuals that echo the aesthetics of a time long past. After receiving her BA in Ancient Studies from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Flora spent a year in Transylvania researching Roman coins with the Fulbright Program. The following year, she completed an MA in Museum Studies at Durham University. She now lives along Hadrian's Wall, with a focus on bringing local museum archaeology collections back to life through illustration.
