Long, long ago in ancient Greece, people began telling wonderful stories to explain the mysteries of life. These myths featured gods and goddesses, mighty beings who look human but have amazing powers and live forever.

This was a very informative and beautifully illustrated book about the origins of different gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. I originally hoped this would be a good addition to a history lesson about Ancient Greece or a language arts lesson about myths and folklore, after reading it I think it might be a little too inappropriate for younger children. The reading level is K-5, but I think this would be better for middle school children. I did enjoy the book though, especially given my interest in Greek gods and goddesses. ( )

The book begins by telling the story of how the greek Gods came to be.It then went into detail about each God and their specific power, such as Zeus and Athena.
