Kate Horwich-classic myths, 152 pages
in this book there are 8 stories or myths. they are: creation of the titans and gods, prometheus, the twelve labors of Heracles, circe and the odysseus, Aeneas' trip to the underworld, the follies of midas, cupid and psyche, and jason and the golden fleece. i really liked this book because i have great interest in greek and roman mythology. in most of the stories there will be a character that was mentioned at least once in one of the other stories. This made the book more interesting because you already knew who that character was, and what the probably had to do in the story.
