Mythological Creatures: A Classical Bestiary

(2) 4-6 This book provides an eye-catching introduction to sixteen mythological creatures of ancient Greece. Straightforward and clean, the text outlines without dramatization what the mythical beings were and describes their roles in Greek lore. Confining each within a broad, sober border, Curlee depicts all as classically statuesque; even such horrors as Cyclops, blood streaming down his arms, seem congealed in the moment.
