Science unavailable to ancient sources helped guide author Spencer Clevenger to critical insights and intriguing results. In \u003ci\u003eGreek Mythic History\u003c\/i\u003e, he weaves myths concerning gods, kings, and heroes into their intended time and place and offers a concise retelling of Greek myths from a historic perspective.\u003cp\u003e Capitalizing on modern discoveries, Clevenger tells the story in chronological order, starting with the creation of the cosmos and ending in the Dark Ages when poets began to write down their myths and stories. Neither history nor mythology, the stories depict what history might be if the myths were interpreted more literally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With maps and exhibits included, \u003ci\u003eGreek Mythic History\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive retelling of the various Hellenic myths in a logical historical sequence, and places nearly the entire canon into context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Spencer Clevenger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149177228X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491772287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.09d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spencer Clevenger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217005826303,"sku":"9781491772287","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3da72899-29c6-460b-a28f-11c33d71f6a5.jpg?v=1728513998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greek-mythic-history-spencer-clevenger-9781491772287","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
