Product Description
A new trade paperback edition of Edith Hamilton’s world-renowned classic–a book that has enthralled and delighted generations of readers with its timeless tales of gods and heroes. 50 line drawings.Amazon.com Review
Edith Hamilton loved the very ancient Western myths with a passion–and this classic compendium is her tribute. “The tales of Greek mythology do not throw any clear light upon what early mankind was like,” Hamilton clarifies in her introduction. “They do throw an plenty of light upon what early Greeks were like–a matter, it would seem, of more importance to us, who are their descendents intellectually, artistically, and politically. Nothing we learn about them is alien to ourselves.” Fans of Greek mythology will find all the fantastic tales and characters here–Perseus, Hercules, and Odysseus–each discussed in generous detail by the voice of an impressively knowledgeable and engaging (with occasional lapses) narrator. This is also an brilliant primer for middle- and high-school students who are studying very ancient Greek and Roman culture and literature. –Gail Hudson

I was required to read this book for summer reading as of going into ninth grade. Now I am no genius and I don’t really know that much about mythology but I establish this book EXTERMLY confusing. It made no sense what so ever. I dont reflect this lady knew waht she was doing(not to insult her). I also had to take notes and she makes nothing clear she goes on and on about usless infomation, that has no real relivance to the tale that she is presently trying to tell. Just tread another book, unless you like to read horrible books for fun.

Reading this book is like reading a textbook. I would not recommend reading this book unless it is an assignment. This book is extrememly dull and i establish myself reading the same paragraph over and over because I could not focus on the book.
