As a way to introduce children to Greek myths, this book is the best we’ve come across. It’s told as a journey—Atticus is travelling with his donkey, Melissa—so there are little breaks between the stories as he arrives in places, which makes the myths more manageable. Children really, really like this book and will listen to it many times. If they are learning classics in school, they will wow the teacher with their knowledge of the myths, which come up a lot in western language and literature.
