jclin's review against another edition
5.0
I read this book in middle school (it was one of our required books). As required reading usually goes, I didn't expect to especially like it. But the stories were written so fascinatingly that they really pulled me in! They were succinct enough to hold my interest and descriptive enough to paint vivid pictures of the myths. It ignited an interest in classics for me, and I'm still taking Latin 7 years later. I'm grateful to have been assigned this book.

eh. I don't understand why it was titled "Greece & Rome" when the myths were centred around the Roman tellings, and used the Roman names for the characters. I feel that there's better books that explore mythology, but this is a fine introduction, I guess

A fantastic collection that perfectly balances ease of reading and informativeness. Cover to cover it is wonderful.

A little hard to get through, but I definitely learned a lot from it.
