September 21, 2009: I owned one of the earlier releases as it was given to me as a gift about nine years ago. Since then, I've moved several times even cross country and somewhere along the line, I lost my copy. When I got into my Greek phase which comes along more often than not, I realized I didnt have it and immediately when to B&N looking for it. To my delight I found it again, same cover the whole nine and was glad for it! This is great to relax with, have a fantasy or two with the fights, the struggles between the Gods and all around good time.... I totally recomend.

August 26, 2009: I love this book! I've read it three times.
At first, I was going to get it as a reference book for a few myths and the Greek Gods, but I found that it was wonderful to read for enjoyment. It has a very unique writing style and vivid illustrations. It has every myth I could think of, I love it! I reccomend this book very much if you enjoy complicated storylines and characters, and if you like big words.I Also Recommend: Gods Behaving Badly.
