Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton

4.0

---

I was assigned this for a college credit course in high school that I was taking online. I skipped reading most of it and bombed the class. Two decades later and much more casual mythology reading under my belt, a return to this was a delight. It is textbook-like in that it covers everything and Edith writes with notes about her sources. However coming to it now having absorbed many more modern retellings, it was a delight to have such a skillful guide back to the sources (or as close as we can get).
