This book is a fine supplement to her other non-fiction: The Greek Way and The Roman Way. All of the major lore from ancient times is compressed into this book. She has skillfully blended it from the writings of Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Euripides, Sophocles, Ovid, Homer, Virgil, and a myriad of other poets and historians from the ancient world. These are the details that make her work soar above that of Bullfinch. Tagged on is a quickie from the mythology of the Norsemen.
