NancyJ (nancyjjj) | 11067 comments Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold is an easy to read summary of many of the the most popular Greek Myths. He starts with origin stories and family relationships among the Greek Gods, and he leaves off just before the Trojan War. We discovered this month that many retelling stories are about Greek Mythology, and it might help to know a little about that myth while reading. In addition, many of these myths or characters are used in other literature, and even everyday conversation. I think this book would be good to have handy as a reference book. I'm unlikely to retain many of stories I read in the book, and I've already forgotten many of the names,

As a book to read cover to cover, I give it 3 stars. As an easy reference book for readers or authors, I give it 4 stars.
