This is a nice quick reference/primer for Greek Mythology. It is great as an introuduction. Each section is short and easy to follow. The artwork in this book was beautiful.

This is an Amazing book
It's like an handbook almost like a dictionary of Greek Gods, Heroes and other important characters.
.
It had details of all Gods and their misdeeds
Author calls things what it is
If it is Assault by God then it is .
If it is unnecessary creating problems for humans then it is
.
Authors has done good research and also mentions popular books and movies which took refrence from original myths
.
This is ideal read for those who are new to Greek gods and
Also for those who think they know it all by just reading Mythological "Fiction".
.
A must read for a fan of Greek Mythology
It's like talking to expert and with all the inside jokes .
.
Amazing book buys
Why didn't I read it before idk 😶
.
All the trigger warnings I gave come in any Greek narrative 😕

I really enjoyed this collection of Greek Mythology stories. They helped a lot with working out who was connected to who.

I really liked this, it's a great starter guide if you're just beginning an interest in Greek Mythology! I love Liv Albert's podcast (Let's Talk About Myths, Baby) because of how in-depth she goes into these stories, whereas these were just brief, simple overviews. A good book for quick reading on the Gods and Goddesses and Heros!

Fans of Liv's podcast will like her approach in text format as well. Great illustrations by Sara Richard too. My only qualm were the constant parenthetical suggestions to see other entries that relate to the current topic; I think most readers could figure that out for themselves. Still, overall a great read!
