Stories on the Greek Heros?

As of recently I just finished reading the Percy Jackson book series and I found it to be an entertaining read. But in the books they are always referring to some of quest taken on by the well known Greek hero's. Hercules, Jason, Perseus etc. Does anyone know of a book where I would be able to find the stories of the original greek hero's or even stories of the gods over coming the Titans and removing Kronos from his throne.

Any help would be great. Thanks

    Try the library. I'm sure they have a few.

    There are some good references on this subject. Robert Graves' "The Greek Myths" is comprehensive and gives historical background with extensive footnotes. Thomas Bullfinch's "The Age of Fable" is a classic on the subject. Gustav Schwab's "Gods And Heroes Of Ancient Greece" is good too. Most libraries should have copies of some such books. I bought Schwab's book at Borders Books.
