3.0 out of 5 stars Best as a resource rather than a good retelling of myths, August 19, 2005

This review is from: Usborne Illustrated Guide to Greek Myths and Legends (Paperback)

This is a good resource for information on Greek Myths, however the stories are retold in a rather drab manner which do not bring to life the characters. I would recommend Mary Pope-Osborne's retelling (Favorite Greek Myths) for further reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best sources for Greek Mythology, August 30, 1999

This review is from: Usborne Illustrated Guide to Greek Myths and Legends (Paperback)

This book is absolutly wonderful. I have had a copy of it for years and I don't know what I would do with out it. Not only does it give clear information about common Greek myths, but it also has a wonderful "Who's Who" section in the back. Perfect for looking up things easily.
