5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Among Books of This Kind, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
First of all this book is not afraid to tell a story. It's long in a good way. There are 445 pages on the stories of the Trojan War alone - what happened before, during and after what was told by Homer. The entire world of Greek mythology is brought together and made memorable; much more so than after reading a book that gives you the usual run-of-the-mill rundown. The famous names come alive, and their stories are told in a way that they're connected in time. The style of writing is simple but not too simple to bring out the poetry and gesture and good vs. good realm above simply black vs. white dillemas that make Greek Myth the religious art that it is. Also this book is worth having just to accompany your favorite translations of Homer.
