Pantheon

How many Muses are there? Who were the original twelve Titans? Why is Zeus (Jupiter) associated with power stations, and Poseidon (Neptune) with salt-cellars? Who were Aphrodite's (Venus') handmaidens? In this beautiful little book, packed with rare early illustrations to help identify the gods and goddesses, author Philippa Lewis reveals the extraordinary characters and haunting myths of the classical pantheon, and shows how their legacy still lives on around us today.
