Explore Captivating Myths of the Greek Gods and Heroes
Although the Greek gods and goddesses were powerful immortal beings, they were in many ways still very like the humans who worshiped them. The gods and goddesses are stricken with jealousy; they fall in love; they get angry when they feel slighted, and bestow gifts when they are honored. Likewise, the heroes are larger than life: they’re stronger, faster, and more skilled than ordinary mortals, but they are still subject to pain, illness, and death.

Buen resumen

Mitología Griega es un libro corto que resume de buena manera la correlación histórica de los dieses griegos, desde Caos hasta Zeus, así como la de los heroes humanos como Perseo y Heracles.
Buena síntesis. Excelente introducción para quien quiera adentrarse en la fascinante historia de la mitología griega

Excelente introducción para poder leer y entender literatura más pesada ya que gran parte de la mitología griega es lo que fundó las bases de la mayoría de las historias que escuchamos y leemos hoy en día, lo recomiendo completamente si te interesa el tema, aunque por si solo es un poco tedioso y aburrido

Este libro esta genial para iniciarse acerca de los mitos de Dioses griegos o para aquellos que solo quieren un conocimiento general.

La lectura es rápida y fácil lo que hace que el libro se pueda leer en unos cuantos días.

Ofrece de forma muy resumida ha visión general de la mitología griega desde el Caos y los Titanes hasta los semidioses. Es información sin mucha profundidad pero que cuente lo más principal de la mitología griega. No soy mucho de este tema así que no puedo decir nada más.

Sencillo de fácil lectura

Cuenta ciertas partes de la mitología, lo terminas como en una hora aproximadamente. Si te quieres distraer un rato, este sería el libro.
