As delightful as the first, and explores how the gods were more likely used as a way for us to make sense of our world, namely that one might have said "Athena whispered in my ear" as a way to convey you'd had a good idea.

Just like Mythos. Great stuff! The stories are timeless and entertaining and the writing is superb; and no matter how much I think I know on the subject I find out that I’m actually rather ignorant. Highly recommend this two book series.
