Greek Mythology

Can anyone direct me to a place I can find a shortish version of the
Greek mythology behind the constellations?

The best "short version" is probably Ian Ridpath's _Star Tales_. More
details of this and other suggestions at:
http://www.astunit.com/books/mythology.htm and
http://www.astunit.com/books/uk-mythology.htm

Excellent general myth resource is:

For myths behind the constellations (not limited to Greek), see Staal's
_The New Patterns in the Sky_. My inclination if I wanted Greek stuff
would be to read Staal, then flesh it out with Robert Graves's _Greek
Mythology_.

Best,
Stephen
