Explore Captivating Myths of the Greek Gods and Heroes


Although the Greek gods and goddesses were powerful immortal beings, they were in many ways still very like the humans who worshiped them. The gods and goddesses are stricken with jealousy; they fall in love; they get angry when they feel slighted, and bestow gifts when they are honored. Likewise, the heroes are larger than life: they’re stronger, faster, and more skilled than ordinary mortals, but they are still subject to pain, illness, and death.

This book on Greek mythology will take you on a captivating journey so you can experience the enjoyment of the entertaining stories while also learning about the Greek myths that lie at the roots of Western language, culture, and civilization.

Within this book, you'll find the following Greek myths and topics covered


  • The Creation of the Titans
  • The Birth of the Olympians and the Downfall of the Titans
  • Prometheus and Epimetheus
  • The Birth of the Muses
  • The Olympian Gods and Goddesses
  • Hera, Queen of the Gods
  • Hermes, Trickster, and Messenger of the Gods
  • Grey-Eyed Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Strategy
  • Hephaestus, God of Fire and Smithcraft
  • Artemis, Virgin Goddess of the Hunt
  • Apollo, God of Music and Healing
  • Dionysus, God of Wine and Ritual Madness
  • Ares, God of War, and Aphrodite, Goddess of Love
  • The Story of Demeter and Persephone
  • Demigods, Heroes, and Monsters

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are interested in Greek Mythology, this book is for you.
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018
The publication of Greek Mythology began with the Creation of Titans. It demonstrated an age of chaos, darkness and light. The text included Gaia and Eros, Mother Earth and God of Love, respectively. In the first section, the author provided insight into the Birth of Olympians, Downfall of the Titans and Birth of Muses. My favorite chapter described the family dynamics of Apollo, God of Music and Healing. He was an accomplished musician and patron god of singing and playing music.

I also enjoyed the mythology of Perseus and the author’s content on Athena transforming Medusa into a snake-haired creature. The author described Medusa as, “a creature so hideous that anyone who looked upon her face instantly turned into stone.” If you are interested in Greek Mythology, this book is for you.

Very interesting book. I knew some of this but didn’t realize there was so much more. My one suggestion is to take notes to keep all of the names in order. I kept going back & forth on this to keep track of all the names . Very good read!
