In Bulfinch's Mythology: The Age of Fable, Thomas Bulfinch presents readers with a comprehensive compilation of Greek and Roman myths, bringing to life the stories of gods, heroes, and legendary creatures. Bulfinch's writing style is both engaging and educational, making these ancient tales accessible to a wide audience. Published in 1855, this book has stood the test of time and remains a classic in the study of mythology. Thomas Bulfinch, a Harvard graduate and banker by profession, was inspired to write this book after realizing the lack of a single, comprehensive source for mythology. His passion for the subject shines through in his meticulous research and storytelling ability, allowing readers to delve into the rich tapestry of ancient myths. I highly recommend Bulfinch's Mythology: The Age of Fable to anyone interested in classical mythology or looking to explore the foundations of Western literature. This timeless collection is not only informative but also a pleasure to read, providing valuable insight into the cultural and literary heritage of ancient civilizations.

Thomas Bulfinch

American author Thomas Bulfinch (1796–1867) was steeped in classical culture from an early age, attending the Boston Latin School, Phillips Exeter Academy, and Harvard College.

His first book, The Age of Fable, told of gods and heroes as portrayed in the works of Ovid and Virgil. It was later combined with The Age of Chivalry and Legends of Charlemagne in a single volume known as Bulfinch's Mythology, which has entertained and educated generations of children and adults.
