Robert Graves: The Greek Myths
Edith Hamilton is always a good primer, though you should realize she sanitizes the source http://www.amazon.com/Mythology-Edith-Hamilton-ebook/dp/B00852YXU8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414360728&sr=8-1&keywords=edith+hamilton Still, not a bad option, my Mythology class in College used this book.
Robert Graves is also a decent introduction: http://www.amazon.com/The-Greek-Myths-Complete-Edition/dp/0140171991/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414360818&sr=8-2&keywords=Robert+Graves+Greek+Myths
Finally, you can't go wrong with Bullfinch http://www.amazon.com/Bulfinchs-Mythology-Modern-Library-Bulfinch-ebook/dp/B000FC1H50/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414360874&sr=1-1&keywords=bullfinch%27s+mythology Even my grandmother, who was off-the-boat from Greece had a copy of Bullfinch's Mythology.
There are other books, of course, but these should give you a good starting point.
I am curious to see any other suggestions. My library could use a refresh. ;-)
Well, there's The God of the Greeks by Karl and Carl Kerenyi. Papa Karl is one of the best respected scholars of classical mythology of the last century, so that's a good way to go.
Robert Graves' The Greek Myths is exhaustive, but I'd only recommend it with a few caveats. One is that the nature of his project tends to bastardize the stories a bit -- he wrote the book as a way of unifying the myths, but the very nature of Greek myth is that it's various and contradictory. Graves gives a very readable (and thus popular) account, but it isn't without flaws.
For something a little more classical, check out Erwin Rohde's Psyche, one of the pivotal 19th century texts of mythological scholarship. Rohde was a contemporary and friend of, as well as influence on, Nietzsche, and his ideas greatly informed the development of classical psychology. This is more specialized stuff, but it's interesting and gives a bit more insight into Greek religious thought than you would get from reading the myths alone.
