# Bulfinch's Mythology

_The Age of Fable; The Age of Chivalry; Legends of Charlemagne_

By Thomas Bulfinch.

"Bulfinch's Mythology" by Thomas Bulfinch is a collection published in 1867 that retells myths and legends for general readers. Originally three separate volumes, the work presents Greek and Roman mythology, Arthurian legends, and medieval romances in accessible prose. Bulfinch removes classical languages as barriers to understanding, weaving ancient tales with quotations from contemporary poets to help nineteenth-century English readers comprehend literary allusions. His approach transforms classical education into pleasurable learning, making timeless stories meaningful for modern audiences without formal training in Latin or Greek.
