Basically "Where are They Now: Greek Mythological Figures". I'd recommend brushing up on Greek Mythology before reading. I was really into mythology as a teenager but had forgotten a lot of the stories an figures. There is a small glossary at the end of the book, but not quite enough to get me up to speed. Once I brushed up on things, it was an enjoyable book. Short stories about mythological beings after the fall of the gods and dealing with their remaining issues in the modern world, such as yearning for human interaction and getting over betrayal.
