Heroes and Gods

If you have children into the stories that follow Roman Mythology, this is a great book for them to become informed with. I have forever liked all types of mythology and I think that kids have an actual interest in it.

Extraordinary book!

So far I have read two of the mythology books and have found them both informative, easily digested, and vastly entertaining. The linkages in this book make for a wide range of additional historic resources for a teacher to use. I think the only addition I could see is a teacher handbook version with a bibliography and questions to ask.

Guide to Roman Gods, Goddesses

Exactly what I was looking for. This book is pretty organized and is fabulous for those obeying the religion Romana because the link between the ancient Romans and their gods was nice and organized and a lot connected to specific workouts.

Great tales to share with children

Greek and Roman Mythology really peek my interest, and this book captures them both perfectly. This book is like all of the roman myth books combined, along with stories of the conquests of the heroic gods.

The compositions and history are awesome

The writer was capable to give a necessary yet satisfying belief of the Greek gods and their Roman equivalents.The compositions and history are awesome. It keeps Greek and Roman matters of the goddesses and myths clearly different.

Excellent Guide to Ancient Myths

A concise presentation of the many stories and Gods that made this religion so compelling for so many for so long. A truly beautiful version of the definitive collection of roman mythology.The ancient myths carry all the universal themes that man still aspires to and struggles with.
