    "What do these stories mean to us today? Do these stories still communicate a message that is meaningful to us? We now know the scientific explanation for many of the phenomena that are explained in ancient Greek myths. Why do we still read them?

The story of Venus and Adonis speaks to lost love and the inevitability of fate.)"

Put Down Your E-Reader: This Book Is Better In Print : NPR - 0 views

    "Gillian Cross' new retelling of Homer's The Odyssey is aimed at kids 8 and up, and like many children's books, it's brightly colored and beautifully illustrated. But the artwork in this book - illustrated by Neil Packer - seems sophisticated for a kids' book. These are not your standard depictions of gods and goddesses with chiseled features in flowing gowns.
