Summary:
"Myths that stem back to ancient times continue to answer ageless questions, offer moral guidance, and entertain those hearing the tales. Some of the most enduring myths have come from ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome. This volume not only introduces readers to these dramatic myths, but also makes readers feel like they are a part of the stories with captivating graphic-novel inspired illustrations and layouts. Each myth also features engaging and lifelike dialogue. Introductions to myths from each region include primary sources, historical facts, and descriptions of deities that can enhance social studies curricula." --publisher's website.
