4.0
A really clear overview of all the Greek classical myths (and their differences to Roman, if there are any).
Easy to devour and read, it’s supported by translations from the original stories by the likes of Ovid and Homer (translations done by the author herself).
Recommend for anyone who wishes to have a great, in-depth but not excessively so, knowledge of the stories they know well…and maybe those they don’t.
