    Interesting background information

    This is a great book if you are looking for background on Greek and Roman mythological figures. It does not list everything in it but it does cover all of the "big" names like Pandora and Prometheus. It does give what could be called the original story behind each "character" and links common characters in the order they are presented. I really like having it as a reference point when researching classical history and literature. As far as gift-giving, I would suggest it for anyone who has a serious interest in the classics and Greek and / or Roman mythology.
