Hi Susanna,
I like your choices on the Greek history list. I always thought D'Aulaires's book of myths was the loveliest and most readable for both kids and adults. I see Fagles's translation of the Odyssey. If you haven't read the Iliad in translation yet, let me recommend Stanley Lombardo's translation. The cover is weird looking--a scene from WWII--but it's really readable and a genuinely accurate reflection of the Greek text.
