Homer and Ovid are pretty good for starter. Metamorphoses is really nice book with lot of stories woven together. My favorite quote: > Yet world was not complete.
> It lacked a creature that had hints of heaven
> And hopes to rule the earth. So man was made.
> Whether He who made all things aimed at the best,
> Creating man from his own living fluid,
> Or if earth, lately fallen through heaven's aether,
> Took an immortal image from the skies,
> Held it in clay which son of Iapetus
> Mixed with the spray of brightly running waters —
> It had a godlike figure and was man.
> While other beasts, heads bent, stared at wild earth,
> The new creation gazed into blue sky;
> Then careless things took shape, change followed change
> And with it unknown species of mankind. |
