Lust, Chaos, War, and Fate - Greek Mythology

“Greek Mythology is an excellent reference guide to the stories that gave rise to Western civilization. This introduction to classical mythology and its quirky cast of human, divine, and hybrid characters is well written and packed with fun facts. Boyett expertly takes the reader on a fascinating journey of the ancient Greek myths and shows how they remain relevant today.”–Robert R. Cargill, Ph.D., Asst. Professor of Classics and Religious Studies, University of Iowa
I’d love to tell you how good this book is but I can’t get it away from my kids.–Daniel Radosh, senior writer at The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
Jason Boyett always threads a subtle ribbon of provocative thinking alongside his renowned wit. Don’t let the style or pithiness fool you, this is some real deal schooling on the very roots of the stories we still carry into our popular culture, philosophy, and the night sky. I say this as someone who broke the spine of D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths from repeated childhood readings: it’s marvelous.–Lauren Sandler, best-selling author of One and Only and Righteous
