* I used both this book and D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths for our study of Greek Myths, simply because I found this book at some sort of book sale and I found many of the stories easier to read and understand in it. The D'Aulaires' Book is also very good, but some of the stories are pretty long. You can choose whichever one is best for you, or use both like I did.
