This is a visually stunning book! One your kids will pull off the shelf again and again!

Monsters, mortals, gods, and warriors: for over sixty years readers have chosen this book above all others to discover the world of Western mythology. From Odysseus's adventure-filled journey to the Norse god Odin's effort to postpone the final day of doom, Edith Hamilton's classic collection not only retells these stories with clarity but shows us how the ancients saw their own place in the world and how their themes echo in our consciousness today.
