S. Lewis In <em>From Achilles to Christ, </em> Louis Markos introduces readers to the great narratives of classical mythology from a Christian perspective. From the battles of Achilles and the adventures of Odysseus to the feats of Hercules and the trials of Aeneas, Markos shows how the characters, themes and symbols within these myths both foreshadow and find their fulfillment in the story of Jesus Christ--the myth made fact. Along the way, he dispels misplaced fears about the dangers of reading classical literature, and offers a Christian approach to the interpretation and appropriation of these great literary works. This engaging and eminently readable book is an excellent resource for Christian students, teachers and readers of classical literature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>. . . a great crash course on the anceint Greek and Roman myths. . .</p>--Lee Sparks for Rev!, March/April 2008<br><br><p>. . .a great crash course on the ancient Greek and Roman myths that every preacher should know.</p>--Lee Sparks in Rev!
