"Classical Mythology, Eleventh Edition, features a thoughtful and engaging presentation of material, good use of color and graphics, and an excellent layout. The range and coverage of topics is very thorough; most of what a mythology class or instructor might look for is here in some form."--Glen Robert Gill, Montclair State University "This book offers broad, rich, yet detailed coverage and is superior to all competitors I know. This has been my main text (with a few interruptions) for considerably more than twenty years. It is reliable and appeals to students."--Zoja Pavlovskis-Petit, Binghamton University "I particularly like the glossary, which explains how concepts or names that originate with Greek myth have become part of the language. This is great for building vocabulary and enhancing student literacy. The phonetic pronunciations provided in one index are very helpful, as is the audio element on the website, which says words aloud so that students (and instructors) can hear how they are pronounced."--Alice Goode-Elman, Suffolk Community College, "Classical Mythology, Eleventh Edition, features a thoughtful and engaging presentation of material, good use of color and graphics, and an excellent layout.
