Very nicely done.
This covers it all, makes a plunge profound, and relates the point in a way that is drawing in and instructive.
It is an all out page turner.
Humanity consistently appears to require something to turn upward to, (to keep us in line?), saints, animals that are more noteworthy than we are. Religion gives comparable structure to us also, and there are extraordinary equals, in my brain, between most religions and folklore.
An overwhelming undertaking without a doubt to handle the Greek divine beings and goddesses, yet here it is finished with style and detail, giving far beyond I anticipated.
With a compact timetable that presents the characters all through their development/birth, it assisted me with getting a handle on the family structure and elements such a great amount of in a way that is better than the grim books read before.
This is a brief yet far reaching review of Greek folklore. I have been intrigued by the whole subject since school, there are fights for power, skewer measured consciences, desires for youth and magnificence, and furies unreasonable, with the inescapable dismal or terrible outcomes.
what's more, it dispatched my advantage in fantasies and legends, reasoning, the human psyche, and otherworldliness, from that point forward.
This book is wonderful as a boost for any individual who has been keen on Greek folklore, or as a first look. Direct statements from source material would add to the experience, and give perusers a sample of how clear and rich Greek can be.
The book is anything but difficult to peruse, however interesting. Also, engaging! The tales of the different divine beings are entrancing! We conceded them such human characteristics; people made divine beings that are as defective as we may be! However, it's incredible enjoyable to find out about them.
Surveyed in the United States on December 15, 2020
I was wonderfully astonished by how exhaustive this book was, given that it's not long and Greek folklore can get pretty tangled. It begins with the Greek form of the start of the universe and attempts to disentangle what happened when (notwithstanding clashing source material), and follows its way to the Olympians, the most notable of the Greek divine beings. It likewise covers places like Hades and half-divine beings like Achilles and Hercules.
The fantasies and legends that we made for ourselves have by one way or another engaged us and in fact served us here and there.

Amazing Literature
Russo's work impressed me since the beginning. His way of writing is easy to understand but very informative. The way he describes every God, Goddess, and Hero is very comprehendible for most people and very intriguing as well. He does a great job detailing the myths and situations, so much that I was baffled on how and why these Gods and Goddesses were so intense for even the slightest situation.The book itself arrived in great condition and is of nice quality. The cover was one of the first things that caught my eye when thinking of purchasing the book. In my opinion, it goes very well with the context of the book.

& from watching Clash of the Titans the original version not the remake.
That's when i was interested in more to learn about it.
So this was my icing on the cake as they say.
