Heroes, Gods And Monsters Of The Greek Myths… by Bernard Evslin
This was a very interesting book and it definately caught my attention. It’s so interesting to see how greek myths work to kind of explain some occurences that happen in our world. Great read!
Collection of one volume , there are nine books of action and adventure surrounding legendary figures in Greek mythology such as Zeus and the Olympians; Perseus, who slew Medusa and the Trojan War. As a child I really loved Greek Mythology so these are books that would have interested me. I always read a lot of books about mythology and loved learning about the history.
This book is most appropriate for children in middle school. It is a great way to introduce students to the gods/goddesses and their journeys. In the book there is a glossary to help students navigate certain terms that may be difficult.
