There's always a risk, when reading a mythology (or history) novel written by a student of that field, as they are an expert first and a writer second, But it sounds as if, even though the characterization is a bit flawed, the storytelling is solid. And considering the Greek myths were largely inscribed by men, it's always delightful to get a softer, more feminine touch on them (you know, more about the people than the battle). :)<br>Thanks for this one!Beth Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898921671895123053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-43034678832108593262013-05-10T10:28:31.338-05:002013-05-10T10:28:31.338-05:00I am absolutely enthralled by Greek and Roman myst...I am absolutely enthralled by Greek and Roman mysthology. However I've never read The Iliad, just the Odysey. Before I run to the bookstore and get this I should probably read the Iliad first, right?<br><br>Great Review as always, you read so many different things I love it!<br><br>Hugss<br>Carolinecmohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682769684610522843noreply@blogger.com
