Great Translation of The Greek Myths.,
This review is from: Gods and Heroes: Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library) (Paperback)
I found that while reading this that in some parts it is a little hard to understand. Overall however the tales of Troy and the epics are written woderfully in a easy to understand and interesting way. It contains some different translations of how the myths took place that make it interesting rather than the humdrum everyday examples. Its a good way to start of a collection for anyone interested in the epics of Greek heroes and the tragedies such as oedipus and the seven against thebes.
As well this book provides a grove of information on some lesser known myths as well as contains an abridged version of both the Illiad and the Oddyssey. This book provides many tales of which to entice as well as to ensnare the mind and does a proficient job of putting most of the well known myths into perspective as well as providing certain areas with more explanation and vivid translation. A great place to begin any collection on Greek mythology, however it is somewhat limiting and I would encourage anyone truly intersted in myth to start here and then read the actual unabridged stories as they were first intended to be read. This book will provide however a great launching point for any avid begginer.
