Greek Mythology: A Traveler's Guide by David Stuttard
4.0
This book has a clever concept in tracing Greek mythology through real historical sites. When I one day go to Greece, I’ll definitely be taking this book as a guide, as each chapter deals with a specific place and even provides a list of sites to visit as a tourist.
The mythology itself was pretty brief, and a bit matter of fact, which I find a shame when Greek mythology is so exciting! If you are unfamiliar with Greek mythology, this provides a clear and concise overview, but is unlike to inspire the passion you might get from Stephen Fry’s retellings.
