this book is quite a useful tool when it comes to a starting place to understanding the history of greece (and religion, as a whole. at least, it was for me) and the mythology that the citizens of ancient times created. however, robert doesn't make it very easy to read- not that an academic text from the 1950's would be very consumable the way most texts nowadays are, but still. i do recommend it, however, if you are interested in the subjects he presents (greek history and mythology).

also forgive the lack of content warnings i give. if you're worried: just about every thing in the content warning is in this book! have fun!
