352 pages”
“It really explained ALL the greek myths and some norse and roman too. It was a required reading but it wasn't too excruciating.”

Hamilton takes a more serious note than others just out to tell the stories, but fortunately never goes out on an intellectual limb to disect all meanings. Rather she handles the mythology professionally while still obviously revelling in the sheer awesomeness of these stories. She hits on as many myths as possible, including the works of Homer. The main focus is Greek, but she even manages to put in a summary of the Norse way of things (though I wouldn't recommend this book for studying that). One of my favorite aspects of this book is the "Family Trees" in the back. Excellent resource for studying as well as just a great read ”
