Retelling the classic Greek myths

This Martin Luther King holiday [official in USA] in the bleak heart of winter seems an apt time to read the Guardian's highly literate retelling of the Classic Greek Myths by a top humanities and Greek scholar, James Davidson.
I've enjoyed the introduction bythe director of the British Museum and will proceed to read more todayand later. There was a substantial amount of good poetry in the introduction. http://books.guardian.co.uk/greekmyths/0,,2237230,00.html
