Yesterday I finished "Mythology"
This Book is really good It is basically a book about the Greek and Roman mythology, there are a lot of stories and all of them have their references, the author always says from whom he took that text/story. First he talks about the gods of the Greeks and their Roman counterpart, then about some myths and tales of heroes such as Perseus and Theseus, then Trojan war but seeing trough a very mythological and magic way, fallowing he talks about some other heroes, getting to the story of Aeneas, witch is said to be from whom the Romans descend, to finish he show some information about the Norse gods and myths, but this part is very short, but it is cool how he talks about it, not telling just the story but analyzing the way that the Norse Religion worked. The book is Ideal for those who want a more historical approach to the myths, the author tries to explain what the people of the old Greece thought, and why they wrote/made their myths the way they made it. It’s really worth the money, the number of pages is not that impressive, but they are large, and each of them have a lot of content, the author does not waist time with little details, thus he can cover a lot of ground in feel pages. And there is a lot of well made illustrations, my favorites are the smaller ones that appear in the corners of the pages. Normally I do not re-read a book, this one however I probably will, because it is very interesting and works amazingly as a studying tool of mythology, witch is a topic that I love. 10/10
