I have always had a real love of Greek mythology. As a kid I saw this in a bookstore and immediately nagged my dad to buy it for me, despite the fact that the last copy in the store was pretty battered and I'm very particular about my books being in pristine quality. That was how much I wanted this book.

I read it and was not disappointed. This is one of my favourite books in the Ology series. It's very engaging and the information is presented in a fun way. I definitely recommend this to kids with a love of mythology or even just a thirst for information.

These Candlewick press books are cool, beautifully done and full of fun little tidbits. I would have loved these as a child, obviously I bought this, so I still do.

Great introduction to mythology for anyone who wants to get into it. It’s more focused on the presentation rather than the content, I would say. However, the content is well summed up and the illustrations are really nice! I do wish it had more myths but it seems like this was just the mainstream myths.
For anyone who is looking for a short book to learn easy about greek mythology, this is the book you should start with!
