«Los mitos griegos» is Robert Graves's essay on Greek mythology, published by Ariel in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
A reference work that brings the reader closer to the main legends of ancient Greece. Graves narrates each myth and adds its variants and sources, in chapters grouped by characters ranging from the world of the gods to the deeds of the heroes; the result combines erudition with clear, engaging prose.
Translation by Lucía Graves. The original title, The Greek Myths, was published in 1955, and this edition brings together in a single volume the part on the gods and that on the heroes.
Intended for readers who want to get started in classical mythology or have a reference work, with an approachable treatment for teenagers and adults.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
