Lots of info

I LOVE this book. I am really into Roman Mythology and wanted to learn more about the society of mythology and familiarize myself with the gods and this book does just that.I definitely recommend!

Thank you...

I have forever been involved in Roman mythology and this book was very interesting. I liked the way the writer wrote the book, it's clear to explain and understand.Thank you...

Very enjoyable

It gives great basic knowledge of the Roman gods and, surprisingly, My son enjoyed listening to it. He usually does not like learning or listening so this was a bit of a wonder.

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.

A delicious treat for anyone who loves the genre.

Legends, myths and the gods snd goddesses always fastinated me. I just never found the time to enjoy them. I am fulfilling my chance. Love this book.

Absolutely recommend this book.

Excellent for Homeschoolers or just if your child or even yourself want an overview of Mythology. Art work is gorgeous and stories are complete without being terribly in-depth. Very good book about the different Greek Gods and Goddesses.

It's best to be picked up

A good book to explain on Mythology. Brought me back to my college days where this book was a focal point of a History class. It's best to be picked up.

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.

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.

An excellent book on Roman Gods,Goddesses
