"Then let me tell you what we will do," said Athena. "Three days from now we will both weave; you on your loom, and I on mine. We will ask all the world to come and see us; and great Jupiter, who sits in the clouds, shall be the judge. And if your work is best, then I will weave no more so long as the world shall last; but if my work is best, then you shall never use loom or spindle or distaff again. Do you agree to this?" "I agree," said Arachne.
"It is well," said Athena. And she was gone.
II. THE WOOF.
When the time came for the contest in weaving, all the world was there to see it, and great Jupiter sat among the clouds and looked on.

الميثولوجيا كما يجب أن تروى
دائما ما كانت الميثولوجيا محط اهتمامي وشغفي وقرائاتي وخاصة اليونانية... تلك الحكايات القديمة التي الهمت أجيال واجيال من الشعراء والأدباء والرسامين التي كانت الميثولوجيا حجر
it is easy reading and informative. i cannot drop my kindle when i am reading. however it does not inclide the golden flee abd hercules....more
These are some of the greek mythology stories rewritten in a way that is supposed to be accesible to child and adult readers alike. Which means they are simplified and not overly violent. I quite liked it, and it was soothing to read.
I am already pretty familiar with a lot of the Greek Mythology as
Hoewel ik de Griekse mythologie geweldig vind, vond ik dit boek echt onzin. De verhalen waren soms echt raar met aanpassingen die gewoon frustrerend waren. En dat telde voor mij gewoon heel erg mee voor het boek, omdat het er ook voor zorgde dat ik gewoon geen zin had in het boek...more
These stories are suitable for children, which are pure and innocent. These stories can teach them what is justice, what is bravery, how people work together, how to regulate themselves to avoid acting like those bad people.
As an adult, the stories are somewhat ideal and corny for me, but wonderful
Because of my Morton toe also commonly known as Greek feet, I have this likeness towards greek mythology. This book repeats many stories though. But its not that great but yeah a one time read. They have mostly covered thr common stories and the language is easy too.
a precise, and engaging introduction to the history of Greek gods and goddesses narrated in the form of short stories. A must read starting book for people alien to the history of Greek gods and heroes. amazing bedtime read for kids.
