Greek mythology in essence is the body of ancient myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods, legends and heroes, their culture and their ritual practices. This body of ancient Greek myths and legends together form Greek Mythology literature. The genre includes books varying from non-fiction to fiction. However, there are two main kinds of Greek Mythology Books available for readers who enjoy this genre. Retellings of the ancient Greek Myths that have become modern classics and legends by some of the most renowned authorities on classic writing.

What are Ancient Greek Myths?

Ancient Greek Myths were basically a way of explaining the world to a more primitive people who did not have access to science and as a result didn’t understand the happenings of the world. The primitive people did not have any explanation for the sun rising, the moon changing its size, the natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. So it was easier for them to make up myths about these occurrences and blame them on God. These Greek myths give us fascinating insights into the beliefs and culture of ancient Greece.

What is most fascinating about Greek mythology and their literature however is how their perception of God is terribly human. For instance; Zeus cheats and lies and he is the most appalling serial adulterer. Another fascinating aspect about Greek Mythology is how their stories also tend to set out the ideal behaviour commandments and the consequences of certain actions. It is the same as the Ten Commandments—”Thou Shalt not…” or something terrible will happen. So, for instance, Ixion, who committed the murder, ends up in a fiery pit, tied to a wheel, forever revolving, as a punishment. 

Greek Myths therefore also serve as a guide to life as well as make interesting cultural tales. If you are the kind of reader that wants to immerse yourself into historic fiction that draws from the rich heritage, tales and legends of ancient Greece; here is a collection that you are going to love. In the collection below we have gathered the best of Greek Mythology books—from spellbinding myths retold that have become bestselling modern classics to mesmerising anthologies and mythical adventures for readers of all ages and preferences.

We shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.
