Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton
5.0
Actual Rating: 4.75
+1 I'm...such a mythology nerd it isn't even funny.
+1 hilariously entertaining regarding diction. Just guys bein pals for most of this. Totally NOT gay lovers. Pssh.
+1 multiple sources for the myths, helping to ensure more accurate retellings of the original myths
+1 another pleasant audio book experience (for the most part)
+1 it's just...so good. It's most of the major myths of Greco-Roman mythology all in one place and in English. Good stuff, good stuff.
-0.25 THIS IS NOTHING AGAINST EDITH but the lady who I had reading the book on YouTube mispronounced original Roman words and it bugged me.
I'm so glad my AP Latin teacher had us pick this up because I had previously no idea it existed and I needed it in my life, so shoutout to Ms. Stephen.
