A quick read of Greek and Roman mythology with Gangnam-gil's famous paintings.
Description
Book Introduction
Everyone probably knows a little bit about Greek and Roman mythology.
Unlike our time, these days, kindergarten and elementary school students know more than adults.
Many people, including our children, say that while Greek and Roman mythology is interesting, it is confusing and difficult because there are too many characters, not just gods and heroes.
But actually, if you know how, it's not that difficult.
However, because the Greco-Roman mythology, which is the foundation of Western culture, is so vast in scale and has such a variety of stories, readers often find it difficult to organize everything in their minds, leading to confusion and, ultimately, to give up on knowing the whole thing.
Why isn't there a well-organized, easy-to-read book that offers a more comprehensive overview of Greek and Roman mythology, complete with vivid photographs? So, the author spent 14 years organizing the entire myths chronologically, taking tens of thousands of photographs while personally visiting relevant sites and museums from England to Turkey. This three-volume book, a definitive compendium of Greek and Roman mythology, has now been published.
If you read it quickly, you will feel that it is not difficult at all.
I hope you find it comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Publisher's Review
1.
This book covers not only Roman mythology, such as Ovid's Metamorphoses, but also the Iliad and Odysseus by Homer, the beginning of Western literature, as well as the three major Greek tragedies, and even Aeneas in the Trojan War, covering the entirety of Greco-Roman mythology in detail, with almost no omissions, along with related paintings and sculptures.
Additionally, this is a comprehensive edition that introduces in detail almost all the famous sculptures from mythology and famous paintings that we must know.
In addition, this book boldly introduces content rated 19+ in an uncut version, like an uncut film.
Because the content of Greco-Roman mythology is interconnected, if you skip over that content, the story will not connect well, like a movie film with a few interruptions.
So you are learning little by little and getting confused.
It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to learn the entirety of Greco-Roman mythology, like a director's cut movie.
2.
This book features 1,500 exquisite paintings and sculptures in vivid quality, selected from tens of thousands of photographs taken by the author himself while visiting sites and museums related to Greco-Roman mythology from England to Turkey.
3.
Additionally, this book organizes the table of contents in the order in which the myths arose by time period, and groups related stories together for easy understanding.
For example, we have combined Hera's Jealousy, A Touching Love Story, A Story of Impossible Love, A Story of Forbidden Love, the Gods' Revenge series, and The Curse of the Family series into one for better understanding and readability.
4.
Additionally, at the end of each myth, an epilogue is included that explains the content in detail, making it easy to understand the meaning and viewing points of each myth.
In addition to this, we boldly omitted unnecessarily difficult and repetitive names and only included the essential characters, making it easier to turn the pages.
5.
On the other hand, this book is designed to help readers easily understand mythological figures, as it details the birth, status, roles, and symbols of heroes and major characters such as Zeus, the 12 Olympian gods, and Hercules.
If you know the characters of the main gods and heroes, it will be easier to understand the content.
6.
The overall structure is designed to be fun and readable through the use of a drama format, and to be read quickly and lightly by using short sentences rather than long ones.
