4.0

This book taught me about quite a few Greek Heroes I had no idea about and gave me more information on one I thought I knew well. (Turns out I didn't know anything about Hercules. Or that Kratos from the God of War games was clearly partially inspired by his story.)

The biggest takeaway was: don't be a Greek Hero.

This was more tragic than the Greek Gods by about 1000x.
