Book Review of Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece (Pantheon Fairy Tale Folklore Library.)

Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece (Pantheon Fairy Tale  Folklore Library.)
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


I wanted to like it. I waited eagerly for this one to arrive. But I was very disappointed by the writing style, quite unlike every other book I have encountered in the Pantheon Fairy Tale Folklore Library. Perhaps the book is dated? But I'm not sure when it would have been acceptable for bad metaphor after bad simile after bad metaphor for pages and pages, on and on. I had to force myself to finish this and I mailed it out immediately, otherwise I would quote some examples.
