It was quite a feat to start this in January and finally finish it this month before the year's end. What a read! It didn't disappoint. Some sections require caution for young readers or for sensitive readers. I found this deep dive into mythology extraordinary and one I'll never forget. It is a good title to include in my classical reading repertoire. Now for the next read I can't quite tell. There are many to look forward to as part of the homeschool but to immerse myself as I did into this one will be hard to beat.
Why read the tales of ancient history in all its flawed, disturbing, and horrid detail? Because it explains what people believed then and how much an ancient civilization needed a redeemer to pull them out of its doomed state of existence.
