Excellent overview of the major Greek myths. While not every detail is included that is to be expected of a summary and hopefully prompts people to read the original source material. Another useful add-on would have been the source that each myth came from.

I really liked the 'echo in literature/art' section though, it was a lovely add-on and I found it to be of some use and will further explore the books and poetry mentioned.

Other than that, the layout was superb and very easy to navigate. Overall, I found the summaries of each legend to be satisfactory and where they fell through, the 'echo in literature/art' section made up for it as did the layout.

This collection of myths was quite interesting.  I liked how it interspersed bits of context in between to give some extra perspective.  Some parts were a little dry, but on the whole I enjoyed the collection.
