Other than errors

The constellation of perseus is depicted as Pegasus. Otherwise very interesting. The narratives are concise and interesting. Thanks to kindle unlimited for this one.

This book is all right, though I can't say I will remember any of the myths in it except for the well-known ones. I wish more was said about how to locate each constellation in the sky. Sometimes it is said and sometimes it isn't.
