Classical mythology did not die out with the fall of the Roman Empire. Over the centuries, numerous authors created new tales of the gods-stories that filled in the gaps and enriched, with a modern sensibility, a mythical realm of imagination that has never ceased to inspire entire generations.
Presented here is the first English translation of nine stories written by the botanist Giovanni Battista Ferrari between 1633 and 1646, filled with plot twists, metamorphoses, and dreamlike descriptions of the lives of the Olympian gods.
A must-have book for every mythology enthusiast-whether you wish to discover new stories akin to Ovid's Metamorphoses, or experience classical atmospheres through writing that resonates more closely with our modern sensibilities.
