Reviews
Heroes of Greek Mythology
1By KateKinneyThis book is very dated. In the intro Kingsley articulates gender stereotypes from the mid-20th century that are both offensive and laughable. I think I'll stick with interpreting the Greek myths for my young ones on my own, with some help from Robert Graves.
