Summary: Edith Hamilton's Mythology
Review: This is an awesome book about Greek and Roman mythology. Hamilton is obviously very passionate about the subject, but she doesn't let emotion get in the way of her writing. She tells the myths like they are, occasionally using passages from other writers, like Ovid. Also included are family trees of the gods, heroes, and houses of ancient Greece, a short section on Norse mythology, and illustrations of scenes from the myths. This is a very refreshing mythology book to read-and it's so entrancing I read my copy in a day!

Includes:
Part I, The Gods, the Creation, and the Earliest Heroes
Part II, Stories of Love and Adventure
Part III, The Great Heroes before the Trojan War
Part IV, The Heroes of the Trojan War
Part V, The Great Families of Mythology
Part VI, The Less Important Myths
Part VII, The Mythology of the Norsemen

Summary: Worth While
Review: Though it is long and the gods have very difficult names if you you get through the first chapter or so you a rewarded with unbelievably amazing stories. It is a wonderful book to read at any age!

Summary: MYTHOLOGY By, Edith Hamilton - A definate Seller in my book!
Review: When I first started reading this extraordinary book, I couldn't put it down! It's especially great because not only does it tell myths of the Greek Gods and Goddess', Hamilton provides many adventures of Mythical heroe's and the major offspring's of Zeuss. I reccommend reading MYTHOLOGY if you ever have to do a report on Greece - or just for the enjoyment!!!
