I learned A LOT from reading this book. Most of my knowledge of Greek mythology was superficial, and this really helped me to get a deeper picture of these myths, and especially of how they still shape our society, and very much also our language.

Heroes is the 2nd book in the Mythology genre that I have read written by Stephen. I still adored and appreciated the way that the stories and myths were told, very much tongue in cheek! However, I found this one to be a denser read than Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold, with longer chapters and more mortals and gods names to learn.
I give this a 4 star review.
