All about Greek mythology

by Donald Domonkos

Zeus, Gaia, Heracles, Medea, Pandora, Theseus and Odysseus: at the dawn of Western civilization, long before the written word was commonplace, there were great stories of gods and goddesses, heroes and adventurers, monsters and magicians. These myths helped people make sense of the world around them, gave them context for their own existence, warned them against dangerous behavior and inspired them to virtuous acts. History, religion and science all merged in gripping accounts of creation, murder, betrayal, warfare, exploration, sacrifice and courage, narratives like those of the Trojan War and the Quest of the Argonauts that influenced so much of the world’s literature that followed and established their own place in the collective consciousness of the modern mind. Discover a world where the divine and the mortal walk together, where gods struggle against one another, where armies and families rise and fall, cursed or blessed by deities that move among them with human appetites of their own.

Putting aside the fact that the grammar isn’t perfect in this book, I think it’s great! It truly has the basics on such a variety of Greek mythology. You can pick it up and read any part, and with no other context be able to understand and get all the necessary info on the specific God/event/place/ect.

Un libro excepcional donde se nos narra de manera muy detallada la mitología griega, cuna de la cultura helénica y de la civilización occidental

[Kornelia]

Decent book, very quick to read had some interesting facts and stories but no Nyx... or Hypnos and Thanatos. Surpirsed by the amount of people this book did have though very easy to read.
