A Traveler’s Guide

A hands-on traveler's guide to the enthralling tales of Greek mythology, organized around the cities and landscapes where the events are set.
The Greek myths have a universal appeal, beyond the time and physical place in which they were created. But many are firmly rooted in specific landscapes: the city of Thebes and mountain range Cithaeron dominate the tale of Oedipus; the city of Mycenae broods over the fates of Agamemnon and Electra; while Knossos boasts the scene of Theseus’ slaying of the Minotaur.
