Customer Reviews
Concise and thought provoking yet compromised
Plus points:
- concise collection of greek and roman legend
- sociological explanation of these myths (the main attraction for me)
- family tree of legends
Minus points:
- predominance on latin names, even though all the myths are of greek origin
- doesn't present all versions of a myth in full, and the ones it presents are cleaned-up to victorian sensibilities
Overall, I'd say it's a useful addition to a litterati's library
