Pick of the Week


by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire
Oversized and lavishly illustrated, this definitive volume of Greek mythology introduces readers to all the major and lesser gods and goddesses as well as the mortal descendants of Zeus. The thrilling tales, along with the vivid artwork, bring the gods and such heroes as Hercules, Theseus, and Jason to life. From petty squabbles to heroic deeds, their actions cover the range of godly--and mortal--personalities. A family tree, a map of the constellations, and a chart showing both the Greek and Roman names of the major gods are also included.
