Greek Gods and Heroes

This book was fun to read. I question the accuracy of some of the tales, as they differ slightly from other versions I have read. However, it is good, light reading and it covers nearly all of the major Greek gods and heros. The reading level is pretty low which allows for maximum retention of the important plot points, rather than requiring the reader to filter through all the language to get to the point. Great bedtime reading material

This book used to be my husband's favorite book from his childhood and he still loves it. Greek mythology is simply fascinating!

After signing many books out of our public library on this topic, I found that this one was the best book written for children. Easy to comprehend & nice illustrations.

I purchased this book for my 9 year old son as a companion book to several astronomy and constellation guides he requested for his birthday. He completely devoured it in three days - the illustrations are bold and the stories are dramatic/gruesome enough to capture his interest (without being too horrible or nightmare-inducing). We are finding that knowing a bit about the legends behind the constellations makes stargazing that much more enjoyable. I would recommend this book for boys and girls 8-10 years old, although I admit I enjoyed reading it, too!

I took a college World Mythology course over the summer and my 5 and 7 year olds were interested in the pictures in my textbooks. Striking whilethe iron was hot, so to speak, I ordered them this book to study along with mom. It was fun for me to read as well as enjoying and understandable for them. This book was a great choice.

Very nice. Great illustrations. Non-stuffy rendition of classic myths. Read aloud to my seven-year-old who's really into it (me too).

Greek Gods and Heroes is one of the better books on mythology for children out thare, with great pictures and easy to understand stories that people of all ages can enjoy. As a child it was my favorite book in the school library and I checked it out over and over again. It is a must have for any fan of the greek gods and the myths about them.
