Pantheon has always done a wonderful job of publishing comprehensive and engaging volumes with their series of folklore works and Schwab's work carries on the tradition perfectly.

There's not much I really can say considering the stories represented here are age-old and known throughout countless generations. Rather I'll praise the thorough job done in compiling all the stories. There's no need to jump from book to book anymore when studying the different tales or history making it wonderful for a reference as well as entertainment. The language it's presented in isn't stuffy like so many anthologies of mythology tend to be making a classic subject very approachable.

i really enjoyed this, idk i felt that the writing kept me interested and ive learnt a lot about greek mythology and heroes.

It has taken me a while to get through this and there are... a lot of stories, i didn't read them all but a good portion, and i've taken it day by day but i loved it.

Abridged retelling of the most important Greek myths and legends. Rather outdated (the original, German, edition is from 1837!)

Erg beknopt, heerlijk taalgebruik, er misten wel wat dingen, snap niet of die het nou zelf van iets vertaald heeft of alleen samengevat
