Mitolojiye giriş adına bence gayet iyi. Kim kimdi, ne yaptılar, Truva savaşı neden başladı, nasıl kazanıldı, Roma mitolojisi nereden köken alıyor, farkları neler... Bir sürü bilgi içeriyordu ve ben gerçekten beğendim. Oldum olası kimin kim olduğunu karıştırdığım için nihayet kafamda her şey oturdu. Ayrıca bütün olayların Zeus'un başının altından çıkması...



Tüm Yunan mitolojisini özetleyen şahane bir tablo :D

[Joao Nicolodi]

A short, shallow book. Contains a nice amount of info and myths, but really no development or philosophical thoughts are put into it by the author. I was a little bothered by the organization of the stories, for many of them are repeated in different phases of the book. Anyways, it's a nice place to go if you're searching for an ensemble of greek-roman myths and curiosities.

Mitoloji ile hiç alakası olmayan insanların bile rahatlıkla başlangıç kaynağı olarak kullanabileceği bir kitap.

[Arzu Onuklu]

Çok beğenerek dinlediğim (storytel)bir kitap oldu resmen mitolojiye girişti. Önemli tanrilar,olaylar ve Truva savaşı. Devler,titanlar,yarı ölümsüzler,kirke ve günümüze mitolojinin yansıması. Mitoloji severlere kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

Kocham mitologia w każdej postaci❤️

[Serhat Sezer]

Yunan mitolojisine yeni başlayanlar için ideal her konu azar azar anlatılmış. Mitolojiyi derinlemesine incelemek isteyen için tavsiye etmem ama yeni başlayan için tavsiye ederim.

[Hande Hazer Ansay]

Mitolojiye giriş için oldukça başarılı bir kitaptı, her tanrı/tanrıça hakkında oldukça doyurucu bilgiler verdi.

[Shyames]

Takie mitologiczne 101, nic odkrywczego - dosyć pobieżne, ale jak ktoś szuka podstaw to ujdzie. 95% Grecji, 5% Rzymu.

[Crystal]

Great, fun reference title.

I have been extremely lazy and busy that it took about a week after I finished a certain book and then coming here to write what I think about the book; I don’t think that’s an admirable thing to do, but what can I do when all laziness and the temptation to procrastinate mix together in a bowl that is me? Anyways, I think this was the last of the Crash Course series that I have in my collection, and by far this was the least disastrous experience that I had. The Psychology 101 was horribly boring that I don’t think someone majoring in Psychology themselves would have enjoyed the book; the Religion 101 was a bit better but lost it touch comes the last chapter, it felt like the author wanted to quickly wrap things up; this one was an incredibly nice read from the beginning until the end.

It was easy-to-read, entertaining and definitely educational. If you’re a big fan of Greek and/or Roman mythologies, then I think you would like this book. Even though this was definitely was just a tip of the iceberg for all Greek and Roman Mythologies, but for those just newly venturing into this theme, it sure is a nice place to start. Almost, if not all, the Greek mythologies mentioned in this book were definitely something that I am already familiar about, but since Greek mythologies have a lot of dimensions, it means that one story can have a multitude of different details, so it can still be entertaining.

If for some reasons, reading about mythologies that you already know bore you, fear not, because this book is not about telling the mythologies with simpler words, it is about the aspects that may or may not be known to most people. For instance, the book talks about the significance of the three virgin goddess (Hestia, Athena and Artemis) and how it was considered important way back in Greek (spoiler alert, it’s not because virginity is considered a pure aspect of a female). It’s interesting to learn something new, even when you thought you were already fluent in a certain topic. Definitely a recommend piece, especially if you like a nice bedtime story, then go and pick this book for a late night reading before bedtime.

This was a relatively good book for someone looking for a simple, easy to read, and comprehensive take on Greek Mythology.

The text gives you some perspective on how massive the universe of Greek Mythology is and how dense the stories are.

One could argue that a 101 summary of the topic could easily be searched on Wikipedia. This being said, the organization, although far from cohesive, is complied in a relatively understandable narrative. Which made it a refreshing read, despite the author repeating themselves for context in certain chapters.

There were several times while reading which in where I had to reread sections just to reacquaint myself with the storylines and the values of the characters featured in other stories.

Nitpicking aside, it didn’t disturb my reading enjoyment and would recommend this one to anybody looking to grasp a basic take on the subject of Ancient Greek mythology.

Puanım 3/5 (%67/100)

"Mitoloji kitabı önerir misin?" diye sorduklarında insanlara genelde bu kitabı da öneriyorum. Yeni başlayanlar için oldukça ilgi çekici olacaktır. Ayrıca kafadaki birçok sorunun cevabını da veriyor. Beni en çok rahatsız eden şey başlığa kocaman mitoloji yazıp da sadece Yunan ve Roma (ki Yunan'a göre çok daha az) mitolojisinden bahsetmek. İskandinav, Çin, Japon, Meksika vs. vs. bunlara ne oldu arkadaş? O yüzden Alfa Yayınları'nın Mitoloji Kitabı çok daha güzel bir kitap olmuş. Yine de okunmayacak kadar kötü değil. Mitoloji üzerine ilgim çok olduğu için hepsini okumaya çalışıyorum o yüzden bu kitabı Yunan mitolojisine dair neredeyse her şeyi bilerek okumak daha az sevmeme sebep oldu. Deneyin derim yine de.

[Lenny Monica]

This mythology book is really easy to understand. I hope there are the norse myth version too.

[Tuna CENGİZKANER]

Kronolojik bir anlatım mevcut değil, konular çok dağınık ve çok popüler kültür dili ile yazılmış, genel bilgi edinmek için okunabilir, ama daha ciddi eserler okunmalı.

[Sushil]

I enjoyed reading Mythology 101 a lot more than I expected to. I read another 101 Book on U.S. History earlier this year by Kathleen Sears, and didn't find it as compelling. So I didn't have the highest hopes, diving into this. I was pleasantly surprised though.

I don't think the title is apt for the specific mythology covered by this book. This book is concerned almost exclusively with Greek Mythology. There are only about 5-7 chapters on Roman Mythology, but it's not so much about the mythology as it is on how the Trojan War led to the founding of Rome and how the Greek pantheon was absorbed into the Roman pantheon.

I think it's also interesting how the book is made for people to dive into chapters at any order, as opposed to reading it from front to back. I read it from front to back, and I felt like so many of the things I learned in chapter on one god/goddess was repeated more concisely for context in a chapter on another god/goddess. It makes sense though, there's a lot of overlap between the stories of different gods, goddesses, and heroes.

I decided to read this book because of the hype bult this past summer around Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of The Odyssey. I only finished about half of the book when I watched the movie, and so I didn't get a chance to read the penultimate section which focused on The Odyssey and the Trojan War in time. Reading those sections afterward, however, made the movie more enjoyable in retrospect because of all the additional details it gives on the context behind why certain decisions and actions were made in the movie.

Son 50 sayfayı okumadım. Mitolojinin, kitlelerin toplu bir ürünü olmasından dolayı aslında samimi bir ‘insan ansiklopedisi’ görevi göreceğini düşünüyordum. Bu kitap istediğim sistematik anlatımı ve çözümlemeleri bana sunamadı. Biraz dağınık bir anlatımı var ve açıkçası, farklı anlatımlarla hikayelerin sonları çeşitlenmiş. Hikayenin farklı varyasyonlarının olması işi benim için biraz sıktı ama bahsettiğim ‘insan ansiklopedisi’ne bir zararı yok tabii.
Genel olarak mitolojiyi biraz fazla abartmışım sanırım. Eğlenceliydi ama bir yerden sonra kafam inanılmaz karıştı. Bir dahakine odessa + mitoloji kılavuzu okuyacağım :/

[Teresa Barrera]

I read another book on classical mythology yesterday and this book pretty much had the same information, much word for word. But it was information and interesting. This book also had some illustrations and photographs in it which I enjoyed.

[Ekin]

Gerçekten çok güzel ve çok kolay okunabilecek bir kitap. Bütün tanrılar ve tanrıçalar başka mitolojik karakterler her şey var. Kronolojik bir sırayla anlatılmış ve yunan ve roma mitolojisi olarak ayrılmış. Mitolojiye ilgisi olan veya daha fazla şey öğrenmek isteyen herkese tavsiye ederimm.

[Mert Cobanoglu]

mükemmel, klasik okuma alışkanlığı olan herkesin iyi anlaması gereken preproses

[Kirollos Romany]

An organized documentary displaying the mythological stories in an easy and catchy lines, scratching the surface of multiple topics; a guide to further reading and knowledge.

[Sude Nur]

Mitolojiye yeni başlayanlar için oldukça doyurucu,görsellerle desteklenmiş güzel bir eserdi.

[Alyssa]

This is a good introduction book for Greek and Roman mythology. It's easy to understand and can be used as a reference.

[Miray]

love love love it. It could’ve had more Roman myths, it was focused mainly on Greek which I was already more or less familiar with. Still, gotta love it!

Well researched. Written in an engaging and organized way

[Basma]

One of my fav books growing up, it’s one of the things that got me into Greek mythology, definitely recommend to someone first starting the genre 🏛️

[Lalin]

It was a really informative book and there were a lot of interesting facts but the book was focused more on characters instead of myths. A lot of myths and characters were skipped or sketched. Most of the book was about Greek mythology and there wasn't as much information as I thought about Roman mythology.

[Gisela]

It's a nice introductory and thorough book about Greek and Roman mythology. It was simple enough to understand and get to know the basic. However, I did find it a bit repetitive and some chapters seemed to be in a weird order. I read most of it, but also listened to the audiobook in some parts. The audiobook was also very interesting and captivating. Definitely recommend if you want to start learning about Greek mythology like I am
