A great read.
Most enjoyable to find out the stories behind so many characters from Greek mythology. Interesting to now see why we see references to these stories so often in more modern works.

Excellent Reference Material for My Home Library
This was really well done, nicely organized, concise, and hit all the highlights. I have homeschooled for years, and we have plenty of books on mythology. This book is a perfect addition to the family library.

3,5🌟 Interesting, easy to follow and lovely voice for the audiobook. I did skip the last few chapters because I wasn't interested in the topics discussed in those chapters.
