You nerds told me to read this for mythology but then I found bulfinch was some victorian prude who rewrote some myths so I shan't be reading. Now what
Boccaccio, Genealogy of the Pagan Gods (The I Tatti Renaissance Library translation). Thousand pages of sex-mad rambling Renaissance Italian. The primary myth compendium of Renaissance and Early Modern readers.
Does anybody really recommend secondary reiterations of mythology when Ovid himself basically knocked it out in a clean sweep?
