A review by angela_denisee
Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E.M. Berens

1.0

First of all: why is the story so Mixed?? It was written as a “Greek story” but then get the facts from Ovid, A ROMAN WRITER, who hated the Gods because of the merge between the Roman Gods.

Second: I was so closed to ripping it apart because I kept seeing Roman stories instead of Greeks during the Greek mythology section. My pinpoint was when Medusa was introduced I literally RIPPED IT OFF because I was so pissed. Ovid is not a reliable source im telling you.

I was only fascinated during the parts where it said the sources were from Homer and Hesiod (the only two authors I still rely on).

Overall i dont recommended this book if you wanna learn about Greek mythology. Pick up a Homer book or any Hesiod.
