Preface -- Introduction to classical mythology -- Part one the gods, the creation, and the earliest heroes -- Part two stories of love and adventure -- Paty three the great heroes before the trojan war -- Part four the heroes of the trojan war -- Part five the great families of mythology -- Part six the less important myths -- Part seven the mythology of the norsemen -- Index.

Summary: "Mythology resembles one large SparkNote in itself, offering a detailed overview of the myths of ancient Greece and Rome and a brief overview of Norse mythology. Since a tradition as immense as classical mythology cannot be presented in any linear fashion, Mythology frequently contains references to characters or stories that are not explained until later. Nonetheless, it is perfectly acceptable to skip around in the book to alleviate this confusion whenever it arises."
