The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology
by Arthur Cotterell & Rachel Storm
I would have loved to post a link to Bookdepository and Amazon, but it seems like they're both sold out of this book.. I was fascinated with the Greek Mythology that I came across in The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and decided to look up some things online. Although I love Wikipedia for this kind of thing, I prefer to have an actual book to read all about it. So I went on a hunt for a book about Greek Mythology. Turns out, it's kind of hard to find a book that's purely about Greek Mythology! There are a lot of books about the Aztecs and Egyptian Mythology, but none I could find contained only Greek Mythology. Then I found this one and I love it! I've already read a couple of pages and even though it's a bit confusion at times (all of those names!), I love reading about it (which is kinda funny really, because I hated this subject when I was still in school).
That's all that I got in my mailbox this week. What did you get in yours?
Interesting! I love Greek Mythology the most.! :D

I've loved Greek mythology since I was a kid. Have you ever checked out the book D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths? It's a classic and it has wonderful illustrations. It's quite the oversized book but so worth reading. I also highly recommend Robert Graves' Greek Myths. It was my go-to book in high school. Hope you enjoy the rest of your book! :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteCool book! I have a textbook from a classical studies class I took on mythology in college that I had to bust out again when I was reading the PJ books. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAwesome book. I like Greek Mythology. Hope you enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Selfcentered, I think it's fascinating! Can't wait to see what this book has to learn for me :D
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Carrie! I'm very happy with it :) It took some time to get used to the three column bit, but I love it! And yay for Greek Mythology!
