(3) 4-6 Adapted by Laurie Calkhoven. Illustrated by Drew Willis. This adaptation of Freeman's adult book Oh My Gods! covers "Gods," "Goddesses," "Heroes," and "Lovers." Longer chapters--"Hercules," "Oedipus," and "Odysseus," for example--retell those myths in greater depth. Language is accessible (Aphrodite to Anchises: "Calm down"); story variants are mentioned. A useful "Directory of Gods, Goddesses, Monsters, and Mortals" is appended, but no sources are given. Glos.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
