Through the great figures of mythology, La Sagesse des Mythes revisits the foundational stories passed down since Antiquity: the birth of the gods, heroic exploits, wars, curses, quests, and conflicts between mortals and divine powers. Each story follows its characters through the heart of their destiny while remaining as faithful as possible to the ancient texts that shaped these legends. Behind the adventures of Zeus, Odysseus, Heracles, Jason, Oedipus, Perseus, and many others lie universal questions about power, freedom, love, death, justice, and humanity’s place in the world. The collection combines adventure with an exploration of the major ideas carried by myth.
