definitely recommend if you’re interested in mythology!! Edith had some points. I just wish my copy wasn’t prophesied to fall apart but it’s fine.

I ended up DNF-ing this book. While I do still enjoy a lot of the stories and it is great for beginners, it's just very abbreviated versions of each of the myths and after having done a lot of the research myself throughout the years, I want mythology books with a bit more explanation to them

Greek mythology is just about the only non-fiction subject that can hold my attention. This didn't disappoint. Though it was a little dull, but all non-fiction is. This was arranged a little better than a standard NF book, thankfully. Easier to read and enjoy. I think reading the Iliad/Odyssey would give the same effect though.
