This enormous Wall Chart is a "Must Have" for any scholar of classical literature and mythology, as well as anyone who just loves reading Classical Myths and stories of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. The artwork is superb, as are the detailed references and "nexi" that are drawn between the various figures of Classical Mythology--both famous and not so well known! The visual impact of this Wall Chart allows one to understand that complex system of mythology and beliefs that described the world of the Ancients. This is the best Wall Chart of any kind that has been created on any subject both Ancient and Modern. If you wish to hang it in an open space, just ensure that you have a suitable and sizable wall on which to place this wonderful chart.

I first saw this chart on my Greek professor's wall and was stunned by it. So much information, and very clear diagrams indicating the relationships of all the gods. This is a must for any mythology enthusiast.

I was not disappointed by this wallchart in the least. It has so much information, and really presents the relationships among gods, humans and other beings very well. These relationships are so intertwined and tangled that I doubted whether they could be clearly presented. This chart does. (Now if only the type were just a little larger.)

This book is simple to read and fun! If you need Greek Myths for refrence, this is the book! It is one of the best. It is also a book for all ages. My two sons thought the book was great! And so do I! From a big Fan of Amazon, Jeanie L.

I first saw this beautiful poster framed, hanging outside a restaurant bathroom as I waited in line. I began reading and became so engrossed following the paths of lineage and interconnections of myths I have savored since childhood that I allowed three people to go ahead of me as I continued to study the chart. I was so happy to find it available on amazon at a very reasonable price. My own copy now hangs in a prominent place in my high school English classroom, and just like it drew me in to study, I now happily see that it holds the same power over so many of my students.

This book had a lot of great content without being boring or monotonous. I really enjoy Greek mythology and this book summed it up throughly.
