    Default book reccomendations- greek mythology

    I used to have a great big book of greek myths and legends when i was child. Sadly it is long lost but i am interested in picking up another book of its sort. Most of the books i have come across seem to be of the analytic kind, and i'm just looking for a good story book for adults basically
    Any reccomendations?

    How about James Joyce's Ulysses?

    Seriously, you can't go wrong with the complete D'Aulaires. And I know you said you weren't looking for analysis, but Joseph Campbell's illustrated "The Power of Myth" with Bill Moyers is just so enjoyable.

    Joyce is a nightmare!

    What about just something like Bulfinch's Mythology? That's what I grew up reading.

    Contact me for a psychic reading or spiritual advice!
    I can contact all my exes at once by drawing a pentacle on the floor, sacrificing a ram, and shouting "Hail Satan". Convenience is a must.

    Edith Hamilton's 'Mythology'... I loved it when I was younger but it's also a bit academic.
