It was only thanks to his companions and his unique skills that got him out alive, yet it was an experience that he hoped hed never have to face again.

Even with his accomplishments, he has come to terms that the world he lives in is a cold and deceptive one. After a series of devastating betrayals in his past, he has chosen to turn his back on all forms of society and its people to seek peace in isolation, only emerging where his profession is called upon to make ends meet.

Ghosts from Marcus past come back to haunt him, yet he does not understand who they might be, or the reasons why. All he knows is that the girl should not have to suffer, whatever fate has in store for her and if he must stand alone in this then so be it. The Black Wolf has come hunting and for those to cross his path better bring more men to face him.

Early Greek history as found in the textbooks leaves spurious "dark age" gaps where the evidence fails to match historians' fixed ideas. Dramatic claims regarding everything from the Trojan War to the "Mask of Agamemnon" are argued in detail from both an archaeological and a literary perspective, unraveling historical conundrums that have stumped classicists for generations.

The Bibliotheca of Pseudo-Apollodorus, perhaps the best-known mythographic text, stands out for its comprehensive aim and state of preservation. The handbook has regularly been disregarded as a repository of 'standard' myths or as a primary witness to archaic stories, a reductive view at once underestimating and romanticizing the merits of the Bibliotheca. This monograph unlocks the Bibliotheca as a literary work in its own right by offering the first systematic commentary on an essential selection, the Cretan and Theban myths in Bibl. III.1-56, and by presenting an in-depth analysis of the text. In so doing, this volume closes a gap in current research, from which a philological commentary is entirely missing. The main part of the study focuses on various aspects of composition and organization by addressing structuring principles, narratorial interventions, and the author's method and sources. It lays to rest persistent misconceptions about the representative character of the Bibliotheca's myths, the author's merits, and his source use, all of which have divided the scholarship to this date. In addition, it provides an update on the author, date, purpose and readership, text history, and book division of the Bibliotheca.

This book portrays the origin and the mythical evolution of the figure in which the identification of the astrological constellation of Taurus is based. It is the mythical creature that lived between the times of King Agenor and the old days of King Theseus of Athens. Created originally to kidnapp the Princess Europa, it unleashed the movement of kings and princes. Due to it and in search for it, villages, towns, cities, and nations were established. It was the father of Minotaur, a nightmare for entire dynasties, a torturer of hunters, adventurers, kings, heroes, and demigods.

The White Goddess is perhaps the finest of Robert Graves's works on the psychological and mythological sources of poetry. In this tapestry of poetic and religious scholarship, Graves explores the stories behind the earliest of European deities—the White Goddess of Birth, Love, and Death—who was worshipped under countless titles. He also uncovers the obscure and mysterious power of "pure poetry" and its peculiar and mythic language.
