Explore the fascinating myths of Greek and Roman civilizations!

The tales of gods and heroes are often turned into tedious discourse that even Ovid would reject. This easy-to-read guide cuts out the boring details, and instead, provides you with a thrilling lesson in classic mythology.

From the heights of Mt. Olympus to the depths of the Underworld, this book takes you on an unforgettable journey through all the major myths born in ancient Greece and Rome, such as Achilles's involvement in the Trojan War; Pluto's kidnapping of the beautiful Proserpina; and the slaying of Medusa by Perseus, the heroic demi-god. You'll also learn all about the wonders of the world as well as the greatest creatures ever recorded in history.

Like Charon navigating the River of Wailing, Mythology 101 will guide you through the most glorious (and completely terrifying) tales the ancient world has to offer.

I LOVE this book. I am really into Greek mythology and wanted to learn more about the foundation of Greek mythology and familiarize myself with the gods and this book does just that. It even has a neat family tree of all the gods so it really helps to capture who is related to who. I definitely recommend!

Unlike some other reviewers, I enjoyed the layout of this book. It feels modern, and efficient for those visual learners like myself. The size of the book, however, it's smaller than expected. Almost like a pocket-book

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very impressed
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book is very small compared to what it looked like in the pictures. The information is basic and ok for someone who is wanting to learn some basic stuff about mythology but no more. I am not really that impressed with the amount of information that was presented in this. I guess it would be ok for a middle school child who does not already have the basic knowledge of Mythology.

This book is well written and accurate. It outlines the foundations of Greek and Roman mythology briefly, but with as much information as is needed when introducing a subject. It covers the myths as well as outlines the characters. There are a great many wonderful little tidbits scattered throughout the readings.

I would recommend to newbies of Classic Mythology as well as to students or those studying mythology and in search of a good supplementary book.

Love this book. So helpful and so easy to read. A nice manual to the stories and Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. It even has one Greek and one Roman family tree in the back for the gods and goddesses! Very helpful if you need a guide to Greek and Roman mythology.
