As I started reading the book, I actually thought that it would not at all be interesting. But as I went with the flow and continued on reading, I actually started enjoying reading the book. I enjoyed the fact that it was composed of short stories all combined into one book.
I believe that each story written in this realistic book had its value and moral behind it. Although, some of the stories had sad endings, they were of great value and children or even adults should learn from it. I love how the author, Edith Hamilton, wrote these short tales in such an informative way. I also like how stories in this book brought set my mind into the past. It also proves that people were so strong at that time of the period. Noble and innocent yet vulgar if needed to be. The fact that the gods at that time interacted with the people- as they thought, is funny but it also makes the world seem easier to live in. Who would not want to be interacting with, the greatest above all, in times of desperation and happiness? I personally think that stories that are written now are mostly influenced by stories of the past. These stories seem to have a little impact on the movies or stories we read now, I believe.
As a child, I can still remember reading some of these stories in comic books. (Of course, they were a lot easier to read and understand!) And, I personally, learned a lot from each and every story. My impressions at first were unclear but after going through the pages, I finally understood that the stories have a great meaning laying beneath it.
