Loved it! It answer me a lot of questions. And make me ask some more.
C'mon, It's mythology, we all wanna search deeper and deeper trying to find something new somehow. I got a bit confused because the tales was not in chronological order, but it was very nice. Somehow I'd like to have more information about those ones who once lived in the Olympus.
Gods and Godesses were just like any other mortal: they sin, they rape, they steal, they kill, they were just like any other mortal but with power. No matter what or who, we're all the same, I mean, even Gods make mistakes!

So worth read it! ;)
