Myths of Greece and Rome

Summary: Wondeful book, with plenty of photographs
Review: After having tried to get through Bulfinch's _Mythology_ with little luck, this little book came in very handy! It contains much of the same myths (although not as many), but it comes with a photograph every single time you turn the page. Depicted are paintings, statues, etc. that show various mythological figures. Remembering the myths was hard, and if you're more of a visual person, then these pictures really help you remember. And plus, the paintings are absolutely beautiful, and many of them are in full color. A nice companion to the Bulfinch _Mythology_--but I still haven't gotten to it yet! A delightful way to learn about mythology if you have a hard time with just text and need a little visual to perk things up.
