BOOK REVIEW
"A Book of Myths" (Greek Mythology) by Jean Lang
"A Book of Myths" is the (near) complete collection and retelling of the tales of Greek Mythology by Jean Lang, written somewhere in between the 1930s and the 1990s. This book, alongside its PDF and EPub Formats and other formats, such as its physical book form and e-book form are in the public domain.
MY THOUGHTS:
This book was of the essence because our class is currently tackling Greek Mythology and its stories. This book felt a little off and a little shortened but reading all of the tales, not condensed but expounded throughout the course of 126 long pages, this book was alright.
The story where Medusa gets beheaded by Perseus is, in my opinion, the single greatest story and the greatest scene of the book. This book is like fine wine, I still can remember the stories of Greek Mythology in this book, though should considering nearly only two weeks have past since I read this book.

When Icarus was compared to the young people in the beginning of the history of aeroplanes, I fell in love.
I liked a lot of the poems inserted to the various myths. They spiced the stories. The language of the prose is beautiful, you can tell the author truly loved these myths.
