This book is so boring. The myths are written in a confusing way without the character and liveliness that makes Greek and Roman myths fun and interesting. THis book is dry and reading the introduction is actually difficult. I love reading Greek myths usually because they combine real human chacteristics with godly powers and the outcome is funny, realistic and interesting but this book really didn't do it for me.
