Superb Adult Guide to Greek Mythology

"The most insightful, humourous, and relatable introduction to Greek Mythology that an adult can find. Highly recommend this book."

— BigE (5/5)

Yay Myths

"Gorgeous book! I love how each of the myths is broken down. Very accessible content."

— CoriLytle (5/5)

A Good Start, but Lacking

"The book contains information about many Greek myths, some I never even heard of. However, what it has in quantity completely contrasts with what it has in quality. Each entry of a different Greek figure often doesn't cover two pages, even with the large font size and line breaks. I was looking for a more in-depth look at Greek myths, but this book didn't satisfy that."

— John (3/5)

A solid introduction for the casually curious

"This book is a good quick reference for the characters from Greek myth, and a decent introduction for anyone who doesn't know a whole lot about the subject already and doesn't need to know a whole lot moving forward. I was a little surprised by the brevity of some of the entries for some of the more well-known figures though. Every character is given the same introduction, with their name, nicknames, what they're most famous for, and one quick story for each. This is great for the lesser known characters, but feels like it barely skims the surface for the bigger names in Greek myth. I was a classics student myself, finishing with the same degree as the author, so I can tell you that her accuracy in relating the stories is solid despite the omissions. However, as a reference for myself to brush up on Greek myth, I'm a little disappointed that there isn't more for the bigger players. My twelve-year-old, however, is finding it fascinating, so like I said, it's a decent introduction."

— Novella (4/5)

Amazing Introduction To Greek Mythology

"I love Greek Mythology! This book has been also been a love of mine. It comes in handy when I'm reading Mythology stories, or stories that reference the gods, and of course when I'm listening to Mythology podcasts! The illustrations in it are absolutely stunning, and sometimes I like to just flip through and look at them! This is a must have for anyone who appreciates Greek Mythology."

— Ellen F. (5/5)

Enjoyable

"Good book for learning a lot of basics. Easy to read style."

— Nicole O. (5/5)

Sara Richard is an Eisner and Ringo Award–nominated artist from New Hampshire whose work has been printed in Vanity Fair, British Vogue, and other publications. Her art is inspired by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, funerary imagery, and the natural world. Her creations tend to skew into the macabre and unknown with a balance of sweetness and sentimentality, honoring the Victorian-era theme of Memento Mori. As a native of New Hampshire, Sara grew up surrounded by trees and plenty of wild mushrooms. When not making art or writing, she’s watching horror movies, cleaning forgotten gravestones with her mom, and collecting possibly haunted curiosities from the 19th century.
