Kossman's anthology assembles some of the best of these poems inspired by ancient myths, organizing them by themse, and allowing the reader to compare one against the other - for example, one section assembels poems telling the stories of mythic lovers (Cupid and Psyche, Orpheus and Eurydice); another the many tales of miraculous transformations (Pygmalion and Galatea, Echo and Narcissus). With such a wide variety of the world's best poets to choose from - from all over the world and from any era since classical times - Kossman has had no difficulty creating a literary pantheon; included are D. H. Lawrence, Derek Walcott, Rita Dove, Denise Levertov, Rilke, Pound, and Yeats. The collection should be a treasure for the innumerable debotees of both myth and poetry.

By presenting a new picture of Greek myths, this volume celebrates the presence of classical mythology in the consciousness of twentieth-century poets and proves that the classical tradition is as alive as ever and continues to be reinvented with every successive generation of poets. The book offers poems by such internationally famous poets as Auden, Yeats, Valery, Cavafy, Rilke, Akhmatova, and Mandelshtam, alonside works by contemporary poets writing in almost every European language. the inclusion of poems from Bengali and Chinese suggest that the continuing influence of Greek myth is not limited to the Western literary tradition.
