Humankind has always searched for meaning and understanding about how things came about. Many civilizations created oral (and later, written) traditions to explain concepts like supreme beings and the origins of man. Enthralling History has collected some of the most important Greek gods, goddesses, Titans, demi-gods, and mortals and explained their function.

Then, the author tells Greek stories: Creation; the 12 Labors of Herakles; Jason and the Argonauts; Theseus - the Minotaur slayer; Perseus and Medusa; the Trojan War, and finally, the Odyssey and the return of the heroes. The stories are well-told and clear. Enthralling HIstory offers a fascinating retelling of the Greek myths for all to read and understand.
