Some of these legends are so watered down and modernized they come off bogus. Others are better.

I rather enjoyed this book. :-)
It gave us an introduction, and then a choice of reading on as a Greek God, a hero, or the musician Orpheus. I went through all of the choices, going back to do another option after reaching "The End" for the one I was on. All were very interesting, some ending "the way they were supposed to" and others ending in very sad (also, depressing, mostly for the Gods/heroes/Orpheus) ways.
The character I least liked portraying was Orpheus. The best outcome for him was the "way it was supposed to go" ending, and if you know the story of Orpheus, you know he didn't have a "happy ever after" ending. But that "true" ending was better - MUCH better - than the other choices. :-)
Demeter's choices (one of the "choose a Greek God" options), weren't much better, but at least one of them ended up with the "how it 'really' goes" ending.
So this was a fun story to read through. :-)
