The article analyzes the book "Greek Myths," by Robert Graves. Beginning with the classical Greeks themselves, sophisticated observers have been puzzled by the anomaly of an intelligent and sensitive people revering a mythology that seems puerile and brutal and scabrous. The arrangement of this book makes easy. Each of its 171 sections is divided into three parts. A narrative of the myth, divided into lettered paragraphs for easy reference. Documentation from ancient sources and Graves's own interpretation, clearly indicated as such typographically, also divided into numbered paragraphs.
