Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook: From Aphrodite to Zeus, a Profile of Who's Who in Greek Mythology

Eu amei o livro é melhor que o anúncio muito lindas as figuras e muito linda a história.

The last time I seriously read/studied anything about Greek mythology was middle school. I've come across various things that contain Greek myths and legends since then, sure, but never went out of my way to read about it. But... some stuff happened and I got tasked with learning this, so here we are.Honestly, this book is excellent! The writing is great, easy to follow, and the author spends just the right amount of time explaining each god or hero. I didn't learn about the deity I was looking for in this book, but I learned a lot about others, so I'm happy enough about that. And I like that the author makes a point to mention where both gods and humans did terrible things without getting too caught up in that.I'm not usually this kind with book reviews, so I think that ought to tell you something, too.If you're wanting to learn about Greek gods and heroes, definitely get this book. It isn't academic, but it's a great place to start!

This book is a waste of money for the price. The stories (if you could call them like that) are so short and so badly explained, it's like if I was reading a book written by a kid in a hurry.Also, I feel the book is a little to much feminist, I wouldn't have a problem whit that, but the autor remarks almost in every page that feminist side, it's a little annoying.I think this book was a really waste of money, if you're looking for a good mythology book go for Edith Hamilton's one, or even Stephen Fry's.

As our friends aren't that fit in German, we bought that edition for discussions with the right expressions. Very helpful, indeed.

I am autistic and am having an ADHD assessment. I found this book gives me enough information in a clear and simple format. My mind tends to wander, so the short sections were great for me.Anybody needing more in depth information will need another book. But this is great as a starter for understanding the whos, whats and whens. Great for adults and children learning together.
