I’ve always loved mythology and can’t believe I didn’t read this one earlier. This is a great starter book for someone just curious about myths. I enjoyed returning to all the old favorites from Greek and Norse mythology & while also hearing some from other cultures that were new to me. I liked how he mentions specific poems and other famous pieces that use mythology as a reference point. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of reading about Greek mythology. ( )
