Selected Books on the Hellenic Path
This page contains some of the most useful books on the Hellenic Path. It is obvious that a good book is invaluable, especially for the beginners. So, I have gathered here many books that I find to be of immense value - both for those who are just starting their journey on the Hellenic Path and for those who are on it already - including some excellent Hellenic mythologies.
And because it is often very difficult to acquire a book even if you know exactly what you are looking for, I have linked this page with Earth's biggest bookstore, @mazon.com . You can go to their homepage by clicking on their logo above, search by keyword, or take a look at the books I have selected below. Have fun!
