sammishgirl 's review for:
Mythology
by Edith Hamilton
I did not expect the author to be quite so opinionated. She had very definite ideas about which authors were too dry, which were overly dramatic, etc. Also, she really preferred Theseus over Hercules, who was apparently a himbo. The number of times she reiterated that Hercules was dumb was frankly funny.
It really felt like she ran out of steam at the end. There were a bunch of myths that were only a paragraph or two long that felt like afterthoughts. And speaking of afterthoughts, all of Norse mythology only getting a few pages? That seems like short shrift.
