Have you ever thought ancient culture was boring? I'm sure we all have. Do you want to learn something without the threat off falling asleep? If so pick up The Olympians: Great Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece, By Leonard Everett Fisher. You can learn about the 12 most important gods and goddesses of ancient Greece in an interesting way.
The book had so much information on each god or goddess. There was a paragraph about each god or goddess with any background information or important things to know. Their Roman name, parents and symbols followed that. The first page also gave a little information on the Greeks themselves and gods' and goddesses' home, Mount Olympus. The last page was a family tree that showed whom the gods' and goddesses' parents were and who their own children were.
The book was also written in a way where everyone could understand what was being said. Almost no big or confusing words were used and it was written clearly and plainly. For example, "Cronus's son, Hades, was the god of wealth and of the dead---the lower world."
The Olympians: Great Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece is an excellent book. It has lots of facts about the 12 most important gods and goddesses. It also is written in a way that everyone can understand. It was a very interesting book and I would recommend it to anyone.
