Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018
kindle unlimited, pretty sure got the greek books separated though the first one starts techically out of alpabetical order with Ancient but is in with the G section. There are 2 at very end that are more than one so there is a listing there for Greek and Roman mythology together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Knowledge !!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018
This book is great as it takes you on a journey through history. Greek culture as related to Roman & Egyptian mythology seems to cover more ground . We see the makings of democracy which still exists today as many countries or cultures exercise it. Philosophy also as well which led cultures to develop better people. Also, you have all of the stories related to different characters in the forms of myths, folklore & history.
This book would be the type to be used in survey courses either as a subject itself or as supplementally material for a Western Civilization course!
As I always say another superb job by the Captivating History staff!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great and fun read
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2018
Studying ancient history has both been a school subject and later a pass time for me. I knew some of the myths from grade school and knew the history from studies, the rest of the mythology was buried in many different books. The plays were studied as a history of a people in one course I took, exploring the mindset. This book brings the stories into view from the religious side of the people. A great and fun read.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018
Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Greek mythology, this is still a book to read! It tells some of the great stories that are related (such as Prometheus). It then takes you on through history to such people as Socrates and Alexander the Great, tying stories to history. Great read.
