A diver braces a wounded pillar beneath Sicily. Two monsters wait on opposite shores of the Strait of Messina. Under Mount Etna, a divine smith works beside gateways to the ancient underworld.

Sicily's stories are inseparable from its volcanoes, springs, castles, cities and dangerous seas. Greek and Roman myth, medieval romance, saints' legends and living performance traditions have all left their marks on the island.

*Myths and Legends of Sicily* gathers thirty place-led traditions and retells them with atmosphere and care. The collection treats each account as myth, legend or cultural memory-not as proof that supernatural events occurred.

Journey through:

  • Colapesce beneath Messina
  • Odysseus on the Cyclops Coast at Aci Trezza
  • Gammazita's Well in Catania
  • Archimedes defending Syracuse
For readers of Mediterranean folklore, classical mythology, Sicilian history and evocative cultural travel, this is an island-wide journey from ancient epic to the puppet stages of Palermo and Catania.

In Sicily, even stone, fire and seawater remember a story.
