Summary

In 'Bulfinch's Mythology', Thomas Bulfinch meticulously curates and retells the myths and legends from classical antiquity, the Middle Ages, and beyond, in a style that is both accessible and engaging. The work is divided into three distinct sections: 'The Age of Fable', 'The Age of Chivalry', and 'Legends of Charlemagne', which reflect the evolution of mythological narratives across cultures. Bulfinch's prose is characterized by its clarity and elegance, creating a bridge between the academic world of classical literature and the general readership, making the complexities of these ancient tales palpable and enjoyable for all. This compendium not only serves as an introduction to mythology but also situates these stories within the larger tapestry of human experience and cultural evolution. Thomas Bulfinch, an American writer and scholar, has long been fascinated by the intersection of storytelling and the human condition. His deep appreciation for mythology can be traced back to his education at Harvard, where he was influenced by prominent scholars and the rich intellectual milieu of the time. Bulfinch sought to demystify the often convoluted tales of yore, making them relevant for his contemporary audience, while also preserving their rich heritage. 'Bulfinch's Mythology' is a must-read for anyone interested in the roots of Western literary tradition and the enduring power of myth. Its rich narrative and erudite insights render it an invaluable resource for students, lovers of literature, and casual readers alike, inviting them to explore the timeless themes and archetypes that continue to resonate through our cultural landscape.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In Lord of Shadows, the second book in Cassandra Clare's Dark Artifices series, a rising darkness threatens the Shadowhunter world. Kit Herondale, drawn into this world against his will, finds himself grappling with his newfound identity as a Shadowhunter while navigating complex relationships with the Blackthorn family. The Unseelie King, driven by a lust for power and vengeance, seeks the Black Volume of the Dead, a powerful necromantic text capable of destroying the Shadowhunters' magic. 
  
Internal conflicts within the Clave further complicate the situation, as the Cohort, a faction advocating for Downworlder segregation, gains traction. The return of Annabel Blackthorn from the dead adds another layer of mystery and tension. Julian Blackthorn, seeking to protect his family and the world, makes a desperate bargain with Annabel, promising to help her clear her name in exchange for the Black Volume. The story explores themes of family, loyalty, prejudice, and the struggle against overwhelming darkness.
