Mythology

I've been reading this book off and on for some time now, and finally did a push to finish it. I really enjoyed it, probably my favorite mythology book. Edith Hamilton does an incredible job pulling from all the ancient poets and putting together the mythological stories so they are readable, digestible, and really fun. She explains where she gets each of the stories, and if from multiple poets/authors, then she explains which one she pulled from most and why. For a lover of mythology, this book is a must.
