What, to read? Bullfinch or Hamilton. The stories were all oral tradition forever then they were collected. Ovid's Metamorphoses if you want an earlier lyrical version of the myths.

Yeah, to read. I know the stories and the characters (Medusa, the Minotaur, Achilles, etc) but I don't know why I know them. So I want to read the source. Thank you for the info and suggestions.

Just checked them both out. Exactly what I'm after. Thanks pal. Much appreciated. /thread

That stuffs as much of a "source" as you'll get since each city-state had different versions of the stories. There's this amazing animated book that covered a pile of the stories. I know Barnes and Nobles covers it. I read it like an addict in junior high. It's aimed at children but it's great and not Disney-fied if you can get past it being illustrated.
