a tome worthy of the gods themselves! I have long been enamored with the ancient tales of the gods and monsters that once roamed our world. This book provides a comprehensive guide to those myths, from the stories of the mighty Zeus to the tales of the cunning Loki.

The author's knowledge and passion for the subject are evident on every page, and the book is filled with fascinating details. Though as a visual learner, I would have appreciated more depictions of the gods and monsters described in the text.

Overall, I highly recommend Mythology 101 to mortals and immortals alike. It is a worthy addition to any library and a must-read for anyone interested in the rich history of ancient mythology. (

A lot of this was reiterated information for me. However, since it is a “101” book, I can’t bring myself to give this book a lower star rating. In addition, I feel like this is a good introduction book, and it would have been helpful if I wasn’t so familiar with these myths. (
