    I’ve been looking for a book to help me understand the basics of Greek mythology better, and this one was the perfect find. Accessible, informative, and funny, Mythos provided a perfect primer for learning about the titans and gods and their interactions with humanity. I took off .25 stars just because I found organization of the myths confusing at times, but it may be due to the audio format
