The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony by Roberto Calasso

4.0

This was soo much fun to read! Roberto Calasso writes so beautifully, it's a delight to read. The book covers most, if not all, of the Greek myths and stories. It is a collection of essays where stories with similar themes or occurring at the same time are in the same essay. It is a heavy read, not beacause of heavy content matter but because of the language used. I'd recommend taking your time with this and reading one essay at time instead of trying to finish the whole thing in one go. Overall I really enjoyed reading this, inspite of taking 8 months to finish it.
