La mitología supone uno de los legados culturales más importantes que la Antigüedad Clásica nos ha dejado. Desde Zeus y los dioses Olímpicos hasta la Guerra de Troya, pasando por los trabajos de Heracles, Perseo y Medusa, Teseo y el Minotauro o Jasón y los Argonautas, este libro, divulgativo y muy divertido, nos sumerge de lleno en el origen, las historias y los personajes de los mitos y héroes griegos.

King Arthur is probably the most famous and certainly the most legendary medieval king. From the early ninth century through the middle ages, to the Arthurian romances of Victorian times, the tales of this legendary figure have blossomed and multiplied. And in more recent times, there has been a continuous stream of books claiming to have discovered the "facts" about, or to unlock the secret or truth behind, the "once and future king". Broadly speaking, there are two Arthurs.

The Illiad dates back to the 8th century BC and is Homer's epic precursor to The Odyssey. Set during the Trojan War, it tells of battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.

Homer's epic poem, written near the end of eighth century BC in Greece, follows the hero Odysseus as he journeys home after the fall of Troy. Many scholars believe that The Odyssey was originally composed as an oral tradition and was more likely meant to be heard than read, making it a great listen.

Dopo anni di lotte e di vittorie, Giulio Cesare ha conquistato la Gallia. A Roma, tuttavia, gli avversari del grande condottiero, temendo il suo crescente potere, vogliono metterlo sotto processo, e persino il suo principale collaboratore e amico, Tito Labieno, lo ha abbandonato. Eppure, proprio quando sembra che l'unica scelta possibile sia rinunciare alle proprie ambizioni, Cesare getta il dado e sorprende tutti: varca il Rubicone con la sola XIII legione e muove verso Roma.

Nonostante la grande vittoria di Farsalo e la morte di Pompeo, per Cesare la guerra civile non è finita. I suoi oppositori si sono asserragliati in Africa, e da lì preparano la riscossa. Così, dopo aver spazzato via la minaccia del re del Ponto, Farnace, e sedato la rivolta dei soldati, esasperati dai continui rinvii del loro congedo, il dittatore non ha altra scelta che andare ad affrontare i suoi nemici.

Caio Giulio Cesare è poco più che un bambino quando, nell'88 a. C., incontra per la prima volta Tito Labieno. I due si salvano la vita a vicenda, suggellando così un'amicizia destinata a durare nel tempo. Anche quando la carriera militare del grande condottiero prende avvio, dapprima in Spagna poi in Gallia, Labieno è al suo fianco, come principale comandante subalterno. Insieme, i due firmano strategie e compiono gesta straordinarie, agiscono in totale sintonia e sono, di fatto, invincibili.

How to Win an Election is an ancient Roman guide for campaigning that is as up-to-date as tomorrow's headlines.
