“interessant, vlot te lezen, mooie prenten”
“4.5 ⭐ Listened via audiobook. Book is fantastic for those who to gain knowledge and understanding of a wide range of Greek myths, chapters can be read separately to make it easier to digest. Alot of names, places etc to take in but is a book you can go back and reread to gain clarity. Often found it hard to link the myths together in a timeline however if you can overlook this you'll enjoy it more. Stephen Fry's narration is also great.”
“4.5 ⭐️ | A truly wonderful introduction to the Greek myths! Looking forward to picking up the next book, Heroes.”
