What is the best book (written by a male) to learn about Greek mythology for the purpose of reading philosophy in the future?

Edith Hamilton is based tho, she's a good writer

I know this is a meme bait thread but i do hope people realize she's just neatly putting all the myths into one book for people right?

It's not like she wrote them. The original authors were male.

Based, I do the same

She's just summarising the myths in a brief way. She does a good job and she's an academic. If you don't want to read her books go read some Neil Gaiman trash. Pleb.

I'll read this one

The Complete World of Greek Mythology by Richard Buxton

Hey, this is the first book I ever bought! It was the first book I ever read all the way through. My parents started trying to get me ready for first communion soon after but I recognized everything borrowed from ancient myths and considered it lazy writing. I still have the same copy, I treasure it well.

>Edith Hamilton made me atheist at 5 years old.

This is the best book out there on Greek Myths

Didn't they put some fashionable contemporary nonsense into the latest edition?

Robert Graves is who you are looking for.
