Exactly what I needed as a companion to A Thousand Ships. Short, snappy and informative with some cultural references more familiar to a modern reader. The summary lists to “keep in mind” at the end of each chapter were perfect as the myths are hella convoluted and sooo much goes on, it’s hard to keep up at times!

Interesting look at the background of some of our favourite myths and figures.
Nice quick read

I liked the stories; but found them direct and lacking some meat. I think the authors could have put a little bit more sauce into such an interesting book.
