Review (PDF) Mythology 101: From Gods And Goddesses To Monsters And Mortals, Your Guide To Ancient Mythology (Adams 101)
Explore the fascinating myths of Greek and Roman civilizations The tales of gods and heroes are often turned into tedious discourse that even Ovid would reject. This easy-to-read guide cuts out the boring details, and instead, provides you with a thrilling lesson in classic mythology. From the heights of Mt. Olympus to the depths of the Underworld, this book takes you on an unforgettable journey through all the major myths born in ancient Greece and Rome, such as Achilles's involvement in the Trojan War; Pluto's kidnapping of the beautiful Proserpina; and the slaying of Medusa by Perseus, the heroic demi-god. You'll also learn all about the wonders of the world as well as the greatest creatures ever recorded in history. Like Charon navigating the River of Wailing, Mythology 101 will guide you through the most glorious (and completely terrifying) tales the ancient world has to offer.

This book is very small compared to what it looked like in the pictures. The information is basic and ok for someone who is wanting to learn some basic stuff about mythology but no more. I am not really that impressed with the amount of information that was presented in this. I guess it would be ok for a middle school child who does not already have the basic knowledge of Mythology.
This is great, I love mythology and this is a fast reference book for Roman and Greek Gods, I would most certainly recommend it for anyone interested in this material... I haven't as yet read it all, but I'm working on it...
LOVE using this book with my students when we do some research on mythology. Useful and tons of great info about lots of mythology.
This us a great resource, however I was hoping to use it in the classroom and it is written higher than my middle schoolers. Also just an FYI this book is more info not really any stories.
I love this book. It give concise information about the mythological characters and places of Greek mythology.
A good reference for simple clarification while reading more in depth articles.
Was looking for a resource for teaching mythology. The title was a little misleading. It does have information on the gods etc. but is not a course in the teaching sense
Pretty little book, but there is no map of Greece and the illustrations are so so... It is so important to be able to locate the essential mythologic sites, and to illustrate with original historical pieces. I will learn more with Wikipedia!
