This book is a compilation of different Greek mythologies that provide illustrations, pop ups, and other various artifacts that really engage the reader into this chapter book. It illustrates the time period of each book, various monsters and their descriptions, along with details of famous greek gods and heroes. The stories are also edited to be more kid appropriate without taking away too much content. Stories in this book include the battle between theseus and the minotaur, Hercules and the 12 labors, the trojan war, the twelve olympians, Hades and the river styx, king midas and the golden touch, and the golden fleece. The central theme in greek myths is fate and how one can try to altar or change their destiny. ( ) Part of the popular 'ologies' series, this comprehensive book tells an annotated history and compares the Greek and Roman traditions. Features some smaller versions of traditional myths. Children's mythology book. I thought this fine. It's a great introduction and gives a real personality view of many classic Greek heroes and Gods, but as far as story telling goes it's not the strongest. The layout is great for younger readers, especially in this personality cataloging era of Pokemon. The stories are here and are relatively complete, but not as enriching and fluid as they could be. Good way to get kids interested, but with mythology it's not too hard. The book is quite interactive, offering pop-ups, hidden treasures, and other little charms for the young adult to explore. It offers accurate descriptions, pictures, and statues of a handful of Greek Gods and mythical figures. Beautifully drawn, I found myself captivated by a luster that Zeus himself would be proud of. For the child, learning about Greek mythology would have never been made as easy or as fun as the depictions in this book. The pictures of statues are from the period in which these Gods were prevalent. At the very end of the book, there is a quill feather hidden in an envelope. Excellently conceived, this book would make use as a great aid for teaching, or playful enough to be a gift. Though this book is simply titled "Mythology," it actually pertains strictly to Greek Mythology. There's a bit of a fiction involved, as it's actually supposed to be the notes and artifacts left behind by a traveller and collector from the 1820s who travelled to Greece on business, but got on the wrong side of the gods. Includes an introduction, genealogical table of some of the Greek gods and monsters, maps, origin of humans story, popular myths associated with the more popular gods. Contains lots of realia in the form of books within the book, photographs, and specimens. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
