It is simply a collection of seemingly random Greek myths. While the stories are told well, there is no cohesion or transition between tales. Also, I was confused as to why the author used only the Roman names of gods and goddesses, while it was supposedly telling the stories of Greek mythology (not Roman). That being said, it is a scholastic book marketed at children, so I shouldn’t judge to harshly. It is exactly what I asked for, nothing more nothing less.

Tiene historias cortitas, resumidas y son super fáciles de leer; Aunque no me molesta el que tenga los nombres Romanos, si es verdad que sería mejor si estuvieran con los nombres Griegos, pero dentro de todo es una linda colección para tener, cuando los vas leyendo te das cuenta porque te lo daban en la primaria, y es que como un libro para regalarle a alguien de esa edad me parece que está bueno. Personalmente me entretuvo y lo disfruté.

This book is lovely and the stories are great. The illustrations are beautiful. My only complaint, which others have noted, is that this book is called Favorite Greek Myths, yet uses all the Roman names for the Gods and characters. That’s a pretty noticeable oops, to be honest. How did the editors not catch that?
I give it 4 stars. It would have been 5 if not for the Greek/Roman mix up.
