2.0 out of 5 stars Greek Mythology Dumbed Down, March 24, 2002

This review is from: Greek Mythology (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

If you're considering purchase of this for a younger student (say elementary school through maybe 8th grade tops) this might be a worthwhile choice. Otherwise, I would stay away from this. The content is strictly entry level. The art is done on the cheap. There are no references, and no in-depth coverage of anything. I was hoping for good coverage of major Gods & Goddesses with perhaps classical art depictions of same. None of that here. If you're looking for an electronic reference on the subject of classical mythology, this is not it. Save you money and buy a book unless you want something stricly juvenile in its orientation. I give it two stars (being generous) because it might be a decent introduction for some kid who is book-averse.
