Title: Excellent reference, very convenient and accessible
Product review: This is a student's edition, and anyone who is seeking to learn the facts behind the popular stories of Greek Mythology could do a lot worse than to start here. Graves walks through each individual myth, noting alternative tellings, and follows each with a discussion on sources and interpretations. The stories themselves are pleasurable, but the emphasis is on an academic viewing of them. Each paragraph is marked with a letter of the alphabet for easy reference. In my copy, published by Penguin, I thought that the type was a little too small and dense, but the format and authenticity of Graves' work make this book definitive for anyone not studying the original texts themselves.
