Greek island mythology

by Stephanie Dowrick

During a time not recorded by man, a son was born to Zeus and Leto on the island of Delos, circled and protected by a group of islands called the Cyclades. This son was Apollo - 'The most Greek of all the gods.'
The islands of Greece and the myths of Greece are inseperable. Both have captured the imagination of artists and writers for countless generations. Today's visitor to the Greek islands must look a little further to find the Greece of the gods, but a brief understanding of the richness, imagination and influence of mythological Greece will bring an entirely new and endlessly fascinating perspective to the extraordinary beauty of both the islands and the sea in which they lie.
This lively and extremely readable account of the myths of the islands - and of the sea - is a companion volume to LAND OF ZEUS: MYTHS OF THE GREEK GODS AND HEROES.

This one was okay. I didn't find it particularly occupying. I think it was written with perhaps travellers in mind.
