5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating, 20 May 2009
By Mr. S. A. Chalk (Hayes, Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have recently got into Greek Mythology and this book has it all, from the hero that is Perseus to that of Heracles (or before known; Hercules) It proves an in depth account of every event with only a few known classics missed out :). Could not of found a better book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really captures the heart of Greek Myth, 20 May 1998
By A Customer
This book is among the best myhology books I have ever read. It is expanded to the best and most popular of Greek Myths. For example, The Labors of Hercules, The Quest for the Golden Fleece and more.
