Factology: Greek Myths

Gr 2-8–There is an enduring demand for accessible, engaging books on Greek ­mythology, and this title is a strong addition to the genre. Organized in short, ­digestible ­chapters, the book explores Greek ­cosmology, major gods and goddesses, legendary ­heroes, mythical creatures, and iconic stories. The visual appeal is immediate: golden age comic book–style illustrations and dynamic layouts filled with call-out boxes, trivia, and factoids will capture the attention of reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike. Notably, the introductory chapter offers a valuable explanation of what myths are, why they matter, and how they ­continue to influence culture today, an important foundation often overlooked in similar texts. The chapter on the gods includes helpful quick-reference elements, such as symbols, skills, personality traits, and core myths ­associated with each deity. Back ­matter ­includes a quiz and glossary for further fun and education.
