A book that is thrilling and yet very educational.
It's a great book, though it doesn't include some of the older more important stories. I like how the author explained the gods and goddesses. I could really imagine the people and plants in most of the stories.

way good!
Tales of the Greek Heroes is a good book overall, but can be confusing at some times with the author giving information about something that will happen in another chapter that's like 50 pages away. It may also be confusing with the mass of characters within 1 chapter.Also at the end of the book you find out that you have to buy The Tale of Troy, a continuation of this book. If you love myth's you will love Tales of the Greek Heroes because there is so much action on every page.

The Original Superhero Tales are Still the Best!
This is a great introduction (or simple reintroduction) to the myths and legends that we all have seen time and again on film or TV. The ancient Greeks were the original creators of the superhero genre, and the enduring tales they passed to us still serve to thrill, educate, and entertain. This collection is straightforward in its presentation and very fast paced. It is also much more readable then many other books of mythology you will find. Besides just being fun to read, the book can serve as a handy reference guide to the Greek Myths. Highly recommended. Buy this book!

I didn't like this book much.
This was an okay book but not as good as other greek mythology books I have read. This book is about the heroes in ancient greek mythology and the great deeds they accomplished. Included in this book are heroes like Jason and the Argonauts, Hercules, and Perseus. This book covers everything from Hercules ten labors to the defeat of Polyphemus. I enjoyed this book because of the good character structure and all the action. I disliked this book because it was not very informative or discriptive. In this book the author is somewhat mysterious and hard to understand in some parts. For example, when Jason was gathering his Argonauts, when it introduced one of them it said he was at the great boar hunt before the great boar hunt ever took place. In this case you did not know who the man was or what the great boar hunt was. Also, in the parts with little action it bored me easily. A book that I know as similar to this one are the books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This series is about a thirteen year old boy who finds out that his best friend is a centaur and he is the son of Poseidon. These are reasons I did not like this book.
P.S. The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is good.0 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

A Great Start
This book wonderfully describes the Gods, Greek Heroes, and their interractions. It does not go into the detail it could, but it is a great resource for someone starting out at reading Greek Mythology.
