Over a hundred years ago, Kuhn's book, "What the Greeks and Romans Said of Their Gods and Heroes," was published. In the mid-20th century, the text was slightly abridged and reissued under a different title, "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece." This book became one of the most famous popular science accounts of Greek mythology, having undergone hundreds of reprints, including in foreign languages, and inspired generations of scholars (for example, M. L. Gasparov). A captivating retelling of ancient sources—the poems of Hesiod, Ovid, and Homer—makes the distant world of the ancient Greeks closer and more understandable. While winged horses, evil gorgons, and immortal gods may not exist on Olympus, Greek myths do reflect human life as it has always been, as well as the inexplicable and unknown to which we aspire and to which we long to return.
