This was more of a textbook than a pleasure reading book. While interesting, there was SO much information presented that I often forgot the details of the story before I finished reading about the source material and background information provided.

This was excellently researched, and truly a fascinating read, but reading it in one go was not a good idea, and I don't recommend it. I think the approach for this book is more as a reference when encountering other stories elsewhere, and then getting the down-low from this book.

I recommend this book as a reference for fans of Greek Myths. It's truly a great source of information, and really helped me to solidify my knowledge of stories I was already familiar with - for new ones, I simply didn't retain all the information that was shared in this tome.
