Classical Mythology: Captivating Stories of Greek and Roman Gods, Heroes, and Mythological Creatures

This book includes two captivating manuscripts:

• Greek Mythology: Captivating Greek Myths of Greek Gods, Goddesses, Monsters and Heroes
• Roman Mythology: A Captivating Guide to Roman Gods, Goddesses, and Mythological Creatures

Although the gods and goddesses were powerful immortal beings, they were in many ways still very like the humans who worshiped them and who created these tales. The gods and goddesses are stricken with jealousy; they fall in love; they get angry when they feel slighted, and bestow gifts when they are honored. Likewise, the heroes are larger than life: they're stronger, faster, and more skilled than ordinary mortals, but they are still subject to pain, illness, and death.
