Fabulae: Roman Mythology Kindle Edition

A literary epic that only comes once in a generation…Fabulae is a mythology book unlike any other. Classical scholar and ascendant writer, Erik Schönthaler, has meticulously scoured through countless ancient texts to reconstruct and translate over one hundred of the most iconic stories in all of classical mythology, and compiled them in sequential order to create a fantasy-esque novel with a single overarching narrative; beginning with the uniquely Roman creation myth, by Gaius Julius Hyginus (the imperial librarian under Caesar Augustus), and culminating in the apotheosis of Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome.Along with tales of all the gods, heroes, and mythical lands we know and love, and ones you’ve yet to discover. Including the lost empire of Atlantis, and Hyperborea, the fabled land of the far north, as well as a retelling of Lucian’s True Story, considered by historians to be the very first sci-fi story ever written. And now, for the first time in history, a reconstruction of the mythos of Mithraism, an initiatory warrior religion that competed with the Catholic Church to be the official state religion of the Roman Empire.Experience it all in one place, antiquity’s greatest stories revitalized, with an epic fantasy 3000 years in the making!
