This wasn't a personal favorite but I can't fault Edith at all. She does a splendid job introducing all the most important Ancient Greek myths, with interesting analysis on how Greek gods came to be, and linking the stories directly to the sources. Her judgment on the different Greek writers is also funny, and I appreciate her deep-dive into different translations.
However this is a very hefty, academic and introductory text into Greek mythology and as someone who's already familiar with most of the myths I found myself wanting to skip most of the chapters. Edith was mostly just recounting the tales as presented in the original source material in a very one-note way so there wasn't anything new or interesting for me to takeaway from the text. Also the brief inclusion of Norse myths at the end felt pointless.
However it's a great source for someone who doesn't know much about Greek myths and wants to dive into it!
