Greek Myth and Morality

Mary Lefkowitz has written a book (Greek Gods, Human Lives: What We Can Learn From Myths) on the role of Greek mythology that takes the gods seriously. Her book's themes are: "the remoteness of Greek gods from mortals' suffering and hardships, their essential self-involvement, Zeus' lack of complete control, the Olympians' very different sense of time as compared to mortals.'" Lefkowitz is mildly ciriticized by the Bryn Mawr Classical Review reviewer for retelling the myths, so if you are looking for a refresher, this may be the one for you. Read about the book and more of its pros and cons in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review:
