4.9/5 (24986 ratings)

Description:Men and Gods brings together the novelist and scholar Rex Warner’s knack for spellbinding storytelling with Edward Gorey’s inimitable talent as an illustrator in a memorable modern recounting of the most beloved myths of ancient Greece. Writing in a relaxed and winning colloquial style, Warner vividly re-creates the classic stories of Jason and the Argonauts and Theseus and the Minotaur, among many others, while Gorey’s splendid pen-and-ink sketches offer a visual interpretation of these great myths in the understated but brilliantly suggestive style that has gained him admirers throughout the world. Warner covers the range of the Greek myths, from tales of creation (Deucalion and Pyrrha) to those of famous heroes and monsters (Perseus and Medusa), cautionary stories of excessive ambition (Icarus) and of love (Cupid and Psyche) to the tragic history of Oedipus and his family.
