Description

This is a look into the classical world and how the myths and legends of the Greeks and Romans have influenced our language and continue to do so. The book fills the gaps in our knowledge and reminds us of what we once knew. It also contains the stories behind the phrases 'Achilles heel', 'Sisyphean task', and many more.
