The Greek Myths

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I commend Alga on a wonderfully balanced appraisal of Graves' _The Greek
Myths_. I agree with both her praise and her warnings. It's a superbly
useful reference book, but Graves' interpretations of the myths need to be
treated with a great deal of caution.
