If you're interested in the subject of greek myths and cyclops in general, then this book is a great resource. It has interesting illustrations and is written in a easy-to-understand format. It starts with the birth of the original cyclops and even goes as far as explaining how the early settlers came to the idea of how cyclops originated from mistaken identified elephant skulls. An interesting read and a nice addition to anyone's collection.
