Robert Graves' Mythologies

  • "I, Claudius" was one of the most amusing and interesting books I've read.

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzLuG3tM84I Interview from 1965.

  • Graves’s translation of The Twelve Caesars was a formative work in my teenage years and (along with Das Glasperlenspiel) defined my view of humanity for some considerable time and still rings true many decades hence.

  • His "Goodbye to All That" is a good memoir of the First World War. Though his Mythologies are the most readable or engaging one. I prefer Thomas Bullfinch for Mythology.

  • This is quite a cantankerous view of Graves.
