عن المؤلف
E.M. Berens was a scholar and an author who wrote more than a half a dozen books on Greek and Roman mythology. Unlike other Classics scholars of his time, he wrote accessible stories that explored the myths and other oral traditions of ancient peoples rather than simply researching the history of their worship of the gods. His seminal work, The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome, was published in 1894.
