Greek Mythology is an enormous field of study and a brief guide is a daunting task for any writer. The myths have a way of entwining one with another, and it is difficult to present a coherent story line without feeling one has omitted the best part of the story.

This guide succeeds in presenting an overall sketch of the creation of the world and the battles that follow, resulting in Zeus taking his place as the supreme god and ruling the earth from Mount Olympus. It covers the creation of man, it seems, as a bit of an afterthought for the amusement of the Olympians and some of the most famous stories that have come down to us via the writings of the great dramatists of the Classical Age. There are concise biographies of the twelve gods that make up the Olympians as well as of the heroes of the Trojan War.

Um resumo organizado

Um resumo simplificado, da bagunçada e cheia de versões, mitologia grega. Serve como guia pois está organizado origem e parentesco de deuses. Os semi deuses e criaturas fantásticas são pouco citados ou explicados. A guerra de Troia e a aventura de Jasão são resumidas de forma a fazer sentido ao leitor.
