Bright-Eyed Athena: Stories from Ancient Greece

48 pp. | Getty | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-89236-558-7 $$12.95
(4) 4-6 Athenian weaving women tell tales of Athena and her city, including Arachne the spider and Pandora's box. Unattributed first- and second-person pronouns in the framing device are confusing, and sidebars interrupt the narrative, but the stories themselves are well told with poetic language. Photos of statues, painted pots, and other objects decorated with scenes from the tales illustrate the book. Bib.
