Review

"Classical Myth is the best of its kind."--David J. Schenker, University of Missouri

"This text is accessible to students at all levels of engagement. I am consistently pleased with the translations--easy for students to grasp, while maintaining the essence of the original meaning."--Heather Pollock, University of Akron

"Classical Myth is not excessively sophisticated for my 100-level students, yet it challenges them to explore beneath the surface of myths."--Elaina Wida, California State University, Long Beach

3.0 out of 5 stars Pages in good condition, but no binding
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020

The pages are in good condition. The plastic around the looseleaf was ripped open. I'm personally okay with that, but be aware there's no binding at all which is why I gave it 3/5. I assumed it would come with at least coil binding, but it doesn't. Just be aware you'll probably need a binder for it if you don't want to lose your pages!

The book has no binding at all, its just the stack of all the loose pages. It is the whole book but the fact that there is no binding is very inconvenient.

I love the variety of stories within the book, ranging from oral myths to archeological discoveries and theories from it. 10/10 recommend to any fantasy loving person or even a student like easy to use. The stories are very descriptive and I thoroughly enjoy the photographs that make you visualize it.
