In this
book, the author explores different stories and tales that have influenced and
expanded the Greek religion. Rather than sticking to the ones everyone seems to
already know about, they used ones many haven’t even heard of very often to give
more to the topic. I have always been interested in Greek mythology and this
seems like a great way to find out and hear stories I cannot find on Wikipedia.
This book may also expand my horizon of topics within Greek mythology and
religion. I only have a general knowledge of certain gods, goddesses, and
events, and I would love to know more. There are going to be many topics in
this book that I have never even heard of -- I can tell just from looking in
the table of contents-- so I am looking forward to that. It helps
achieve his purpose since he is proving that there is more to Greek religion
than most know, because he is using stories that many average readers may not
be familiar with even if they thought they were someone that knew a lot about
the Greek religion beforehand. So far, this has remained effective and should
continue throughout the novel.
