The Beautiful Stories of Life: Six Greeks Myths, Retold by Cynthia Rylant

2.0

While I can see this as a good introduction of Greek myths for children, I can't see what else this retelling brings to the table. Nothing in particular stands out really stands out, the author got quite a few minute details wrong that change the entire story (e.g Persephone being a mortal) and it felt rather modern in the gender roles it portrayed.

All these women seemed to live for their husbands and absolutely nothing else, and that was portrayed as a good thing.
