Robert Garland is the Roy D. and Margaret B. Wooster Professor of the Classics at Colgate University, where he has taught for 30 years. He attended drama school before completing his PhD at University College London. In recent years he has recorded four courses for The Great Courses and written two videos for TED Animation. Robert has published 13 academic books on both Greek and Roman history, and has recently finished a comic historical novel. His interest is in how to make history come alive and his most important contribution to the discipline has been to identify categories of people who have been generally overlooked in conventional accounts of ancient history, including the disabled and refugees.
""Garland (emer., Colgate Univ.) has published widely in classics and Greek literature. His aim in this volume is to bring to life (in a cool, upbeat style) the ancient narratives from mythology. He focuses on the unalterable bits, as opposed to the various or variant versions. His somewhat unique approach allows the characters--Artemis, Atalanta, Perseus, Hercules, Jason, Oedipus, Odysseus, Achilles, Nausika�, Aphrodite, and 28 others--to speak for themselves in the first person in their own brief chapters. General readers.""--R. Cormier, emeritus, Longwood University ""CHOICE, November 2021 Vol. 59 No. 3""
