Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton

3.0

---

The myths in the book were sometimes confusing and hard to follow, because he would go from one myth and then mention some new hero and say, yeah this myth is in section blah. While I learned much more about myths and even remembered some of the ones mentioned in the book in my class, it wasn't my favorite myth book. Everything was too general, but I guess that's the point. I wanted Hamilton to go a little deeper in to the myths. Even though everything was pretty general, there was still a poopie load of information. I wish I could remember everything I read, but I honestly don't. I only know a few myths better than I did before. This book is more of a reference book that someone would use for their paper on mythology or something.
