Bulfinch's Mythology

By Thomas Bulfinch

Bulfinch’s Mythology is a collection of mythological, legendary, and historical tales compiled by Thomas Bulfinch in the 19th century. It consists of three main sections: The Age of Fable (Greek and Roman mythology), The Age of Chivalry (Arthurian legends), and Legends of Charlemagne (medieval tales of the Frankish king). Bulfinch aimed to make these myths and legends accessible to general readers, intertwining them with references to literature and art. His work remains a classic introduction to mythology, blending storytelling with cultural history.
