Classical Myth is the best of its kind. --David J. Schenker, University of Missouri This text is accessible to students at all levels of engagement. I am consistently pleased with the translations--easy for students to grasp, while maintaining the essence of the original meaning. --Heather Pollock, University of Akron Classical Myth is not excessively sophisticated for my 100-level students, yet it challenges them to explore beneath the surface of myths. --Elaina Wida, California State University, Long Beach
