Focus on Athena!,

This review is from: The Warrior Goddess: Athena (Greek Myths) (Paperback)
The synopsis available above from Amazon must be one of the shortest descriptions of a book I've seen on Amazon; however, The Warrior Goddess: Athene is exactly what what the synopsis says!
It is written for children, I'd guess about 8-12 or so. They are simple retelling of the myths in which Athena plays a significant part...these are evolved from Gates oral telling of these stores during her time at the Children's department of the Fresno County Free Library in California. They are quite lovely in their simplicity and quite lovingly created...my only complaint is I didn't really care for the simple line drawings, I found them to be distracting, not helpful to the story and I can't imagine children really being terribly inspired by them as accompaniment to the text either. An easy read!

Excelllent source of facts about Athena!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Warrior Goddess: Athena (Greek Myths) (Paperback)
This book talks in great detail about the stories in Greek mythology. It expands upon points in ancient myths. I enjoyed the exciting things the gods could do. When Athena used her magic it was very interesting, like when she turned Arachne into a spider or when she helped Perseus get the head of Medusa. If people don't like Myths they should read this book and it will change their minds. This book led me to a new reading genre making me very interested in Mytholagy.
