Greek Mythology: Ancient Myths of the Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes - Zeus, Hercules and the Olympians Paperback – March 21, 2016

Although i am a great fan of Norse mythology but the Greek mythology always fascinated me by it's diverse sections and teaching as well as fascinating stories about the birth of this universe and all the heroic and beautiful gods and goddesses.Elaine has written an amazing book providing all the detail information about Greek mythology including charts, diagrams and illustrations including with short stories of the gods and goddess. I find this book really exciting one to read.

There is much more to Greek mythology than that is presented in this book, it is an overview, but a good one. It is easy to read, brief and interesting. The Greek mythology is a really fascinating and rich material and this book can push you into some more reading and research. Some of the stories, gods and characters are unbelievably imaginative and influential in today's culture, and most people aren't even aware of that. Be sure to check it out.

The writer of this book took no effort to proofread or edit . The book is wrought with bad grammar, missing words, misspellings, and sometimes poor sentence structure. I found myself skipping sections that were redundant with the information given in previous chapters. It was as if the writer was just trying to make the book longer. Also, some of the premises made no sense or maybe I should say conclusions. I would not read any of this writer's other books.

This book opens door to vast area of history and mythology. I have heard many of Greek gods and their stories. The Greek mythology is considered to be one of the oldest of all mythologies among all civilization of the world. Many of the modern day tales and literature is also based on the roots of these Greek myths so it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge about the topic. This book is surely one of the best reference book for Greek Mythology.

The editing in this book was horrible. I was excited to get it, And quickly disappointed. Artemis was always known as female among other errors..

I have always loved to read mythological stories and most especially, the Greek Mythology. It's such a great wonder how colorful, precise and popular it is that almost everyone around the world have at least heard about the story of Hercules or Oedipus. Before I get carried away, about this book, this is great for students or if you have a student and wants them to be knowledgeable about the subject. If you are a collector of anything about Greek Mythology, well, this is a good addition to the library.

The Greek mythology is considered to be one of the oldest of all mythologies among all civilization of the world. I got a better understanding about the many modern day tales and literature since this book provides a great topic on how it all began. It was all actually based on Greek myths. I enjoyed most of the chapters that tackles about Gods and Goddesses. This is an interesting read; I was refreshed with the stories of the major phenomenon of earth and history.

I have had a Greek mythology book earlier but it was just like history text book,But, What I wanted specially a family tree in Greek mythology, its good that family tree has divided into TWO major dimensions; Cosmological entities and Preliminary God and Goddesses.also, the life story of Hades, poseidon and hercules. That's what I wanted all at one place. Looking for other editions of this book too.
