Description
Book Introduction
Everyone has fallen into a mythical world at least once!
Greek mythology, the story that became the origin and root of Western civilization
Aside from the Jewish mythology of Christianity, which has the largest religious population, what is the most widely read mythology in the world? It's Greek mythology.
Greek mythology's status as a common European classic that has driven modern civilization, and the enjoyment of the content itself, have served as factors that captivate readers.
That is why, even after 3,000 years, it is still considered the most widely read myth in the world.
If you watch cartoons, movies, or play games, you will come across names like Zeus, Poseidon, Achilles, Athena, and Artemis more often than you think.
Let's take a look at the movie.
From Star Wars to Oldboy, Spirited Away, and the recently released Mickey 17, countless other films have been inspired by Greek mythology.
It is a story that has been the source of countless contents regardless of time and region, and at the same time, it is an attractive story that has been consistently loved by people to this day.
This book condenses the vast and complex Greek mythology into key episodes, allowing you to read only the parts you need.
From the beginning of the world and the birth of the gods, to the era of the Olympian gods with whom we are relatively familiar, to the exploits and achievements of demigod heroes, this book unfolds in an exciting way only the must-know stories from among the vast and expansive mythology.
I recommend this book to those who know nothing about Greek mythology or have only a vague understanding of its contents.
Anyone can become an expert on all of Greek mythology by reading just this one book.
You will be able to understand the flow of culture and art that remains in various fields such as Western civilization, history, literature, and painting.

Publisher's Review
A humanities series that can be completed in one volume!
A grand and complex myth that took 800 years to complete.
It is condensed and summarized into 42 key episodes!
The 'Humanities and Liberal Arts Series in One Volume' is characterized by its ability to explain a vast amount of specialized knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner and to aid understanding with illustrations.
This book tells the story of just 42 episodes selected from the grand Greek mythology, which took 800 years to complete and had at least 3,000 characters.
Additionally, the family tree and relationship chart of the characters appearing in each episode are organized so that you can see the various people surrounding the character and their background knowledge at a glance.
In addition to finding and explaining the etymology of idioms still used today, it also contains imaginative questions and explanations that extend from mythology, such as, "Who is the strongest of the gods?", "Why does Zeus keep cheating?", "Why are there so many stories of adventures crossing the sea in Greek mythology?", and "What is the meaning of the hope left in the box that Pandora opened?", making it even more enriching to read.
It is a friendly composition for those who have difficulty reading books, as well as for adults who want to reacquire liberal arts knowledge.
Greek mythology is not limited to ancient Greece.
It is a story that transcends time and region, and has a universality that transcends cultural differences.
Even though our environments and cultures are different, we share a universal spirit because we are all human.
Greek mythology contains many elements of such universal spirit, which is something that we continue to seek out in 21st century Korea.
If you want to acquire a basic understanding of the human emotions and lives in mythology, if you want to learn the story that became the origin and root of Western civilization in a short, easy, and fun way, read "Greek Mythology" again right now.
