E. M. Berens was a scholar and author who specialized in Greek and Roman mythology [2]. They lived around the late 19th and early 20th century, though the exact dates are unknown [3].
Berens' approach to mythology differed from other scholars of the time. While others focused on the historical aspects of worship practices, Berens aimed to make the myths themselves accessible to a wider audience [2, 3]. They wrote in a clear and engaging style, bringing the stories and characters of Greek and Roman mythology to life.
Berens' most famous work is "The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome," published in 1894 [2, 3, 4]. This book, along with several others, explored the rich tapestry of myths and legends that were central to these ancient cultures [2,
