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 helpful details and rare early illustrations, picture-researcher Philippa Lewis reveals the fabulous deities of the Classical world, their colourful characters, memorable stories and visual attributes, showing how the immortals live on even today.
