Songs on Bronze by Nigel Spivey
Most of us would like to know the Greek myths better than we do, and in this book Cambridge academic and BBC presenter Nigel Spivey re-tells the Greek myths as the spellbinding stories they are. In exciting prose he tells of Jason and the Argonauts and the travels of Odysseus, of Oedipus's crime and Orpheus's excursion into the underworld among many more.
"'These are not the Greek myths you remember from school.. Spivey's racy retelling is a heroic feat in itself, suggesting that the Songs of Orpheus are no less juicy than a season of The Sopranos.' New York Times Book Review"
Born in 1958, Nigel Spivey is the author of The Ancient Olympics: A History, among other books, and a Professor of Classics at Cambridge University.
