Editorial Reviews

Childhood Education
A lively genealogy of the Greek deities.
Children's Literature
Celestial streaks of gold and blue enliven the attractive pages containing rudimentary facts on the idols of ancient Greece. Easy to use, simple text, with a few paragraphs recounting their place in the heavenly hierarchy, friends, enemies and associated lore. Excellent tool for more reluctant readers, and perfect for early research or browsing.

Children's Literature
Aliki tells the stories of how the Greek gods began. Zeus, whom we may have thought was the first god, wasn't. Uranus, the heavens, and Gaea, the earth, had many sons and daughters. The tale of how Uranus was overthrown by one of his sons, who was then overthrown by one of his sons, is fascinating. The fierce battles of the gods against the Titans finally left Zeus and his brothers and sisters the reigning gods. The illustrations are wonderful, as we have come to expect from Aliki. They are "adapted from Greek vase paintings and sculpture." In the author's words, "There were times when they all (the gods and goddesses) ascended to their thrones. And they were magnificent."

    After.... Perry Jackson

    My son asked me to buy a book about Greek Mytology after reading the Perry Jackon series books. He is really interested in knowing all about Gods and Goddesses as well as other characters and has enjoyed this book. He has looked an read it so many times now, but every time he learns more.

    An excellent source for every home library

    Beautiful pictures, easy to understand. My 4 and 5 year old love to read this book and pick out all of the gods and goddesses. An exceptional book for anyone beginning Greek mythology. This is a keeper!

    A good book for info on the gods!

    I borrowed this book from my teacher for a school assignment. It helped me so much. The pictures are very well done and the literature on the god is short, but very helpful. This was a great book. It says ages 4-8, I say ages 4-80!
