Great references.....

Clearly written, concise, and has an excellent bibliography of references. With all the garbage about Egypt on the web, I find this extremely helpful to figure out who has a clue.

The book begins with a short history of Egypt from the pre-dynastic to post-pharonic times and also introduces/gives context for myth and religion in ancient Egypt. It is a good introduction and reference, but not meant to be comprehensive.

The things that I most wanted but didn't have were cross-references for deity names, which can be spelled several different ways, and a better explanation of the Egyptian concept of the soul.
Definitely a fascinating guide to understanding Greek Mythology, Norse Mythology, and Egyptian Mythology.

Mystical

This book is a great collection of myths and legends from ancient cultures. Some of them we all learned in grade school, but others are new and refreshing. They are a great way to examine life as we knew/know it or just to read and escape to a far away place for a while. From the start to Greek to Egyptian, this book has them all and it is highly recommended for any kind of reader.

Highly recommended Greek Mythology book.

I was looking for a god family tree of the Greek gods and a good reference to all the. "Monsters" and how they came about. This book gave me exactly that and it was just what i was looking for.
This book was excellent. It gives a detailed account of the gods and Titans associated with Greek mythology.

Great Book for read.

I read this book just for fun, because I've always loved Greek mythology and my friend told me that this book was really good. And so far, out of all of the mythology books I've read, this was my favorite. It includes all of the most popular myths and also some little-known myths. It even has a little about Norse mythology, which I also find interesting.

Really Informative

After each mythology it encourages you to continue learning as this book is but the tip of the iceberg. It's also interesting how, in each mythology, you can see the connections between them and the current judeo Christian belief.

Mythology, the topic I was in search to read.

This book was pretty good. Some parts are more interesting than others. My favorite part was when that ran away and her viel fell off and a lion chewed it and then her lover came and stabbed himslef so she did too. Other parts are also very nice and informative.

Matt Clayton did a fantastic job for me.

This book is great for those interested in the myths. It describes (in order of power and rank) the Gods in both Greek and Roman name. It focuses more on the Roman names but in the beginning, tells who their Greek name as well. The book is flexible and easy to carry in a large purse. HIglights many well-known stories that you may have heard of as a child. Highly recommended! Kathy Marques

Beautifully described audio book.

Beautiful. I always thought mythology was interesting as a kid, and even now as an adult. I got this to read to my kids at bed time and they love it.
However, it's a little too dense and difficult for the kids but a best one for adults.
