Autorenporträt
Thomas Bulfinch was an American author, most famous for his compilation of myths titled Bulfinch's Mythology. He was born on July 15, 1796, in Newton, Massachusetts, to Charles Bulfinch, a renowned architect. He attended the prestigious Harvard University and the Boston Latin School, where he gained an education that would later serve as the foundation for his literary endeavors. Bulfinch's contributions to literature primarily involved making ancient myths and fables more accessible to a general audience, ensuring that these stories of gods, heroes, and morality would resonate with future generations. His work was intended to act as a bridge between the classical world and contemporary society, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the cultural and literary significance of mythologies. Although he lived through a period of great intellectual and cultural change, his work remains influential to this day. Bulfinch passed away on May 27, 1867, in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of 70, leaving behind a legacy of making classical mythology widely known and appreciated in American culture.
