Have you ever wondered what books are good for Greek mythology? If you want a book that’s short read and easy to understand, I have the book for you; it’s a book called The Greek Gods by Bernard Evslin. It tells stories and tales of the Greek gods. It’s a simple read, you can read it in one sitting. It has origins of where things come from and also disturbing tales about Greek gods.

This book is pretty accurate. Greek stories are all told differently but they all have the same narrative. Only a couple details change, like in Poseidon’s story there are 3 versions of the story, the ending is the only thing that really changes. Although this book is a short read it’s possible they might not have all the details. Some chapters do become a bit longer depending on the god being written about, but to me it does a good job capturing details and versions.

The length of the book is a great length if you want to skim for what information you want in the stories. The stories they included aren’t traditional Greek mythology tales or common stories. With the short length of it you can easily look at the contents, then boom you found the page you wanted. Each chapter is about 2 pages long and the words included in the book aren’t complicated so it keeps it short, easy to understand. In all, the book is 116 pages, half of those are the contents, glossary, as well as illustrations.

This book is one in a series. The series isn’t the same continuous story, it’s different Greek tales in a collection the book collection. So, also if this specific book isn’t what you’re looking for you have a variety. He has created stories of Greek monsters and heroes. All of the other books also seem like a short easy read. There’s about 9 books about Greek mythology you can get. There are also books of specific gods. Overall, Bernard Evslin is a great author when it comes to re telling Greek tales.

I suggest if you’re a fan of Greek mythology and want to learn stories about Greek gods and goddesses, definitely read Bernard Evslin’s depiction on these. I bet he’ll have a book on what you’re looking for. These books are also a good form of information. You can find his books on Amazon, online or in the Emporia Public Library. So go check out his books.
