I have learned a lot about Greek mythology from this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Favorite Greek Myths (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) (Paperback)
Whenever my mom asks me a question about Greek mythology,the answer comes pouring out of my mouth,like Odysseus and his men came pouring out of the Trojan horse. This book is great for someone who has never read Greek myths before. I have enjoyed it and learned a lot.

This review is from: Favorite Greek Myths (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) (Paperback)
Wow[...] a nice little (87 pages) book that covers Gods & Titans, Hercules, Heroes and Monsters, the Argonauts, the Trojan War and the Odyssey. Only six line drawings illustrate the text, but still this is a very good introduction at a truly affordable price. Readable by a 4th grader with good reading skills or an older student or adult, but with some difficult names.

Pretty Good,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Favorite Greek Myths (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) (Paperback)
I read this book and I am a 6th grader. I read it be because it was a book that the whole class had to read. I will tell you I get straight a's and even though I get a's it seriously was a very hard book. I mean there is all these names like Prometheus, Odysseus, Eurytheus, Medusa, Jason, Polydectes, Zeus, Hercules, and many, many more characters than that. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who gets stressed on things when you don't get something or somebody who is younger.
