Not only are they cool to consider
Facts about mythology are so interesting. Not only are they cool to consider, theyâll also come in handy when youâre doing the crossword puzzle or playing Jeopardy! If you donât have time to take a class, or read a big book, you can still learn a little about mythology by reading this handy ebook.
The Greek gods were created by man to explain the world around them, act as a means of exploration, provide legitimacy and authority to ancient Greek aristocracy, and provide entertainment for the masses. The religion of the ancient Greeks did not have a single source of written scripture such as the Bible or the Qur'an. Furthermore, the ancient Greeks did not believe in absolute truth as practiced by modern faiths such as Christianity and Judaism. Generally, a Greek city-state would devote itself to a particular god or a set of gods, and depending on the location of the city-state, the characteristics of the gods could vary widely.
What I like most about this book is that it is organized so that it is easy to read and understand. This is a great introduction to the Greek Myths and written in a style that makes it entertaining and not a chore to read. I was in awe through out my journey through the good, the bad, and the gore of the Greeks, with some Norse thrown in at the end. It's a great reference tool, and the stories are amazing in their own right. It covers everything and makes it easy to understand. Great buy.
If you love myth don't myth this one
I'm one of those readers that Roy Jackson, the author, talks about who as had a fascination for Greek gods and goddesses since I was a kid. Instead of playing cops & robbers or cowboys & Indians, my brother and I played Cronos & Zeus. I know a little weird. I was happy to see by reading this book that we were not far off the mark. Crosos was the leader of the Titans and Zeus was a son that Mrs. Crosos hid from him because he had the bad habit of eating his kids whole. It was the only way to get them out of the way since they were immortal. Jackson's book is full of stories of the gods, goddesses, plus primordial deities. It comprehensive and a pretty darn fun book.
