Drawing on a wealth of sources; from Hesiod to Pausanias and from the Orphic Hymns to Proclus; Professor Kerényi provides a clear and scholarly exposition of all the most important Greek myths.After a brief introduction; the complex genealogies of the gods lead him from the begettings of the Titans and from Aphrodite under all her titles and aspects; to Apollo; Hermes and the reign of Zeus; touching upon the Affairs of Pan; nymphs; satyrs; cosmogonies and the birth of mankind; until he reaches the ineffable mystery of Dionysos. The lively and highly readable narrative is complemented by an appendix of detailed references to all the original texts and a fine selection of illustrations taken from vase paintings. 26 black-and-white illustrations

I don't know what their version was like; but the current version is like a photo-copied version of the book. All page numbers are intact.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Page numbersBy Harper BottorffSeriously; without page numbers this is near useless as a text book. I don't know where the assigned reading starts or end and I can cite in essays. Wish I would have looked at the reviews before I bought.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. pagesBy MjncIf this book is used in classrooms and it is available in Kindle; why are there no page numbers?! I need to use this book for my class and i bought on my kindle. I have to write papers using this book with quotes from the book but i dont know the page numbers. So this is not very helpful for me.
