Summary: Wonderful Stories and Information
Comment: I like so many others studied classical and Norse mythology in junior high school. What I had forgotten of course besides the wonderful stories were the stories of the gods and goddesses themselves, along with the cultures that spawned these stories. And each culture reflects the mood of the stories. Greece and Rome had stories that at times could be harsh, but could also be fun and cheerful. Norse myths on the other hand definitely had a dark tone to most of them. The book also touches on other myths, including the epic battle of Beowulf versus Grendel, King Arthur and Camelot, and other cultures' myths (among them Egyptian, Indian, Chinese and Japanese, and also Latin America)
What this book does besides describing various gods, goddesses and heroes of each culture, is to also discuss each culture's societies, be them Greek, Roman, Egyptian, etc. I liked refreshing my mind about Greek and Roman deities, but also learning about the deities of numerous other countries that I'd never had the chance to read about before.
This book brought back memories of myths I studied long ago, as well as learning about other cultures and their myths that I never knew existed.
