Ancient Epic (Blackwell Introductions to the Classical World)
Written primarily for scholars and students, Ancient Epic is nonetheless a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read for those who know little about the old human stories that undergird our Western literature and culture. The introduction provided a beautiful overview of how these six epics related to each other and how they can have high meaning for us today. King has a way of describing the people and events that makes them identifiable and memorable.
