This has been one of our children's all-time favorite books. We eventually purchased a second copy after our first had been "read to death" by our older children. They insisted that the younger ones have a fresh copy to read and re-read as they had done.

Mighty Zeus, with his fistful of thunderbolts, Athena, goddess of wisdom, Helios the sun, greedy King Midas--here are gods, goddesses, and legendary figures of ancient Greece brought to life in the myths that have inspired great literature and art throughout the ages.

Fully illustrated throughout with the D'Aulaire's distinctive and colorful style.

Authors: Edgar and Ingri D'Aulaire
