nila's review against another edition

funny informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

I've read quite a few of these kinds of books on Greek myths where a selected few heroes/gods/myths are presented, and the author writes about their different depictions in depth. This is the best one I've read so far. This is Haynes' field and you can tell she's brimming with information that she wants to share. The book is so engaging and I highly recommend it
