Overview

"Being Greek and not liking mythology is like being newborn and not liking mother's milk. Of course, being Greek and not knowing even a fraction of your mythology is the most normal thing in this troubled land." Dimitris Kampourakis invites us to an exciting journey back to the time when gods resembled humans greatly. In those ancient times, at the crossroads between prehistory and history, the first Greeks, half maritime, half mountain-dwellers, shaped their own idea of the origin of their world and the deities that governed it, creating what we now call Greek mythology, one of the most wonderful mythologies of the world. In the form of small and easily readable drops, which however have thematic relevance among them, the author of "A Drop of History" brings to life in "A Drop of Mythology" the spectacular pantheon of all-powerful beings that determined with their weaknesses, quirks, loves, disputes, and wars the fate of humans in antiquity, starting with the big boss Zeus, who is the central figure of this first book. And so we begin to understand the way those mysterious and four-legged ancient little people, from whom we originate as a nation, thought.
