6 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
This collection contains more than 30 enthralling new retellings of favorite myths as well as some you might not have heard before! Including Theseus and the Minotaur, The Twelve Labours of Herakles, and the escapades of Jason and the Argonauts, each myth is told in engaging modern language, which is easy for children to understand yet still retains the humor and intrigue of the original tales. Stunning illustrations by multi-award winning artist Katie Ponder breathe new life into each classic story. Additional feature pages delve deeper into the mythical world, providing profiles of the gods. The reference section provides key background information, such as Ancient Greek storytelling and the incredible beasts of the myths, and a pronunciation guide. Greek Myths is the perfect gift, featuring foil on the cover and beautiful illustrations throughout. Children will love exploring the tales by themselves or as bedtime stories. It will be treasured forever.

Catsandbooks Would you be interested in joining together for a fantasy group? I'd be down to do a mythology read! I'm hoping if maybe it was a more general group we can get enough people. 2mo

This book I placed a hold on became available today on Libby. I‘m going to read it right now. It‘s a quick read so it won‘t take me very long. I‘m currently reading Circe. I have 7 hours left in the audiobook. It‘s going to take me awhile to finish it but I‘m enjoying it.

It took me a long time to pick the best book on Greek myths for my 7 year old but this edition from DK is pretty much perfect. It is just gorgeous to look at and covers the Olympian Gods, all the major myths and the heroes' quests. It is perfectly pitched - not too complicated but not patronising either. Even the font is pleasing! And there's a pronunciation guide and glossary. Just a really lovely book that I'm sure will be much revisited 🏺🏺🏺
