El: Oh, I know. The Romans called him Hercules, and the Greeks called him Heracles. ...I don't know if I should call him the Roman name or the Greek name. Dad: Yeah. That was crazy. I don't think I knew, or remembered that before reading this book. I also find it interesting that we're using the name Heracles now all the time instead of Hercules. Dad: I do, sometimes. Like The Little Prince. I didn't think any of you would read that one on your own yet, and it's a classic that has influenced a lot of other works.

MARCH was when we read Hermes and Apollo. MARCH, dad. But I will recommend this book to people, because I recommend all books to people - even if I don't like them, because I know someone might like them. Dad: I guess it just depends if you're talking to a Roman or a Greek person. ... ... That was a joke. I remember this book being in our English Literature class' reading list. I loved it. I think it is geared more to the young mind than to an adults as, yes, the narrative is aimed more to adventure and action as opposed to a more deep and profound account of the Greek mindset and way of life in those times.urn:lcp:talesofgreekhero00:epub:01e983b2-222d-4a7c-bde0-d6dce5d2815b Foldoutcount 0 Identifier talesofgreekhero00 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t81k0km9m Isbn 9780141325286 El: Reader's Theater is a play they put on at school. ...Well, sometimes they put it on, and sometimes they just read it. Anyway, they talked about King Midas and mentioned The Greek Myths last week. Eliana - from Reader's Theater might have gotten Tales of the Greek Heroes as one of her books. Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content. Ah, Greek mythology, one of my pet passions. Like most people my introduction to the world of Greek mythology came through a children’s book that retold some of the more popular and enduring legends – Heracles, Odysseus, and Jason. That particular book will always have a very special place in my heart (and on my bookshelf). It wasn’t, however, this book. The stories of the Greek gods have been told and re-told for over 2000 years. Many of the stories are very well-known and are told in books, films and theatre, paintings, and even in the stars in the night sky. In many European countries children read these stories from an early age, often in schools, and they are an important part of storytelling culture.

This book presents the great stories of the heroic age – and “Dionysus and “, and “Heracles and “, and “Theseus and “, and “The Quest for the Golden Fleece and “, and many more.

I found it very interesting to connect the Greek myths that made modern day beliefs what they are ! The reason I gave this book 3 stars is because certain stories were hard to follow . Whether that is just the nature of the stories or a flaw of the author’s writing I am unsure . It just seemed like there were too many names and too many events happening in between one main event . It made it confusing for myself, as the reader, to remember what the original quest was . Dad: Yeah. I get it. And I get that you get it. That's part of why I'm trying to read you some of these books.
