The Greek Myths

By Robert Graves

The Greek Myths, is a collection of Greek mythology written by Robert Graves. The ancient greek myths portrayed in this book, illustrate the affairs and relationships between the gods and goddesses as well as their interactions with humans. The archetypes and how they play out in our consciousness are gloriously displayed in each myth.

Creative Drama

The demonstration of the attitudes and ideas that the gods have towards mankind, as well as the creative games they play in their lives, has the makings of a soap opera. However, Robert Graves compensates for that with his compelling interpretations of each story, outlining their origin, symbolism and significance.

For the Tropic of Freedom Books Finders Keepers:
The most prominent theme that really stuck out for me is the danger of prophecy, fortunetelling and casting oracles. The reason why prophecy, fortunetelling and casting oracles are so dangerous is because of how they trap you.

How is the danger of prophecy, fortunetelling and casting oracles demonstrated in these myths?How do they trap you?What does this illustrate about the true nature of destiny?
