A well-organized, simple overview of the many Greek mythology stories and how they originated in ancient Greek life as well as noting their continuing influence today.

Read at work randomly during free time. It's a fourth grade text that goes with the other book on myths. This went into more the history and why they believed or did the things they did. Was interesting since it mentioned some not as well known myths, along with photos of archeological finds with information about Greeks, Romans, and their mythological beliefs. I'm sure students will love it!
