I thought the Mythology was interesting but I was distracted by the grammatical errors in it. And I personally would have just preferred to read the stories themselves instead of the whole background behind them. But it was very educational.

A brief introduction to Ancient Greek culture, as well as some key myths, then the majority of the book is an alphabetical who's who of Greek mythology.
