Stories from Greek Mythology

Just so those of you that are complaining know...Greek and Roman gods are essentially the same. The only difference is that Romans use Latin words and Greeks use Greek words. Do your research. These people most likely wouldnt get educational books published if they were totally off base. A perfect example is the god Apollo, same name in both cultures.

I wholly agree with Mr. Hornsby on the issue of the sometimes incorrect usage of the Roman names for their Greek predecessors. When using Greek in the title of the book, you expect to read about Greek gods, not their Roman counterparts. This being said, many of the Roman gods and stories are based on those of Greek origin and as long as you know well enough which is which (I'm sure a little use of Wikipedia will help most people), it doesn't detract from the stories being told.

So I don't usually talk bad about anything dealing with Greek mythology, but I'm going to make an exception. This was one of the worse books I've ever read. The names of the various gods and goddesses with Roman for crying out loud. The title of the book is obviously "Stories from Greek Mythology." I applaud the writer for writing a book on Greek mythology using Roman names.
