Nikolay Albertovich Kun (1877–1940) was an outstanding specialist in the history of the ancient world, as well as a brilliant teacher and a wonderful storyteller. In 1914, “for schoolgirls and senior schoolchildren,” as well as for anyone interested in ancient culture, Kun wrote the book “What the Ancient Greeks and Romans Said About Their Gods and Heroes.” In 1940, the book received a new title — “Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece.” This is one of the most popular, fascinating, accessible and at the same time authoritative publications that introduce us to the culture of Hellas. The book provides the key to understanding many works of European painting, music and literature that reflect the plots of Greek myths — the life and exploits of Hercules, the adventures of the Argonauts, the tragedy of King Oedipus, the Trojan War, the wanderings of Odysseus and much more. The book has been reprinted dozens of times and remains the main guide for Russian readers in the mysterious and wonderful world of Olympic gods and heroes. The design of this edition uses paintings by famous European artists, including masterpieces by Botticelli, Caravaggio, Titian, Poussin, Zurbaran and many others.
