This is an excellent compilation of the Greek Myths told with brevity and insight. The author provides a small snippet of information preceding each myth that details which source(s) she is taking from and what year it was likely first written down. In 465 pages she covers a lot of ground and does so by speeding through the source material. An in-depth look into any single one of these myths would require a different book.
I'd recommend reading the Greek Myths in some form although it doesn't have to be this book. The Greek Myths really resonated with me for their honesty, and I believe everyone can benefit from these old stories. The ideal of Good vs Evil is largely absent in the myths, and each god, hero, and villain is understandable in their convictions and relatable in their actions. Evil is hardly a motive, but rather love, lust, hate, jealousy, curiosity, etc. Each hero has his vice and even the most wretched of figures aren't so unlike myself. The Greeks didn't fool themselves like we do today with our fiction and politics.
