DK sets a high standard for educational guides, and this one is no exception. The illustrations are colorful and appealing, the myths are concisely summarized, and the language is appropriate for younger readers. The more mature themes of Greek myths are glossed over quite a bit--e.g., saying that a goddess "became pregnant" without the more unsavory details of how that happened. The book also includes a pronunciation guide and glossary and still clocks in at 160 pages, making it a great classroom resource.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

A solid collection of Greek Myths. It's hard to compete with the Donna Jo Napoli or D'Aurlies mythology books, but this would be a good companion book to those.

This book is a great introduction to Mythology! I know a decent amount of information about the Greek Gods and I learned some new facts!
I recommend this to anyone interested in mythology!

A terrific look at the Greek Myths. Easy and accessible. A great gift!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Another book collecting the myths into one. A decent look at them and some starting information. It is very visual which is nice if wanting to read them to kids.

"Greek Myths" was a really great book. I really loved the artwork it was beautiful and fitting to the stories.

Gorgeous artwork to go along with these wonder myths. I have always loved reading about the gods and their shenanigans, and this will be a lovely addition to anyone's library, especially those with young children. My favorite story of the bunch was that of Eros and Psyche, theirs has always been one of my favorite romances, and this was a wonder interpretation of the story.

This is a beautifully illustrated children’s book that is aimed to teach kids about the Greek Myths, starting from creation, including stories of the various gods.

If you and your kids are interested in mythology, I definitely recommend this book

4 out of 5 🌟I can read this all day!

If I say that 'Greek Myths' are beautifully illustrated, it'd be an understatement. This book is just gorgeous. I want to print out every page and put on my wall. I love everything from page design and how text is perfectly fitted inside the pictures to the font-face which is enough fancy to draw my attention but ordinary enough to read.

The myths are sorted chronologically from the creation of the world and gods to the more recent events in Ancient Greece's beliefs. The stories are brief and summarized, there isn't too much narration just the chain of events, hence it reads more like a textbook, not a leisure publication. Despite the title covers a great number of details and it's perfect to learn Greek Mythology.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher DK for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and feelings are my own.

Growing up I loved Greek myths, but my schools didn't offer many books on them. I googled them on the Internet, but nothing was as fun as a good book growing up. I'm super pumped to grab a non-fiction children's book about greek myths! Ah, what a time!

There's a brief introduction to Ancient Greece and myths before the real action starts. Once you're in, it gets going and it's great! It brings to life the famous greek myths about how the world came to be, and it's told in a really compelling way with exciting pictures with it. Many (and I mean MANY) of the gods get bios as well as their stories told. It's a great collection that is made fun, fast and addicting. I honestly wish this would have been around for my greek studies back in grade school! This is a marvellous resource I highly recommend!

I absolutely love the art work. It has those greek mural vibes and was really impressive! Those stood out massively to me since they were so gorgeous and attention grabbing. Easily middle graders up to adults will enjoy this book.

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and DK Children for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about sharing this with my girls. Greek Mythology can be difficult to explain to children, especially since a lot of the stories have hidden meanings or overt messages that would be far too advanced for my girls. But, I'm was happily proven wrong (on assumptions) because this book was so well done.

First of the graphics were beautiful and captivating. The colors and layout allowed you to share bits and pieces at your own pace, and then larger go on to the longer stories, should you choose to.

Secondly, the writing style, while still a little complex for my young girls, could easily be read out loud for bedtime. Young children could still grasp some understanding and formulate questions for better understanding. For older children, this would be a great family or individual read, as the language is not overwhelming or too complex.

Over all, I thoroughly enjoyed this read! Thank you Netgalley and DK for sharing your work with me.

Thank you to NetGalley for gifting me a free digital ARC (e-book) of this title. I loved it! Greek Myths by DK was an amazing book. I love books about mythology and I was so excited to dive into these stories. There are so many versions of the old myths and I always enjoy hearing the various interpretations and versions of the tales. There is so much history in the Greek Myths; not only do we get to learn about what was important to the ancient Greeks culturally, we also get to learn about their values by reading the stories that influenced their lives. I think it is so cool to see how similar the ancient Greeks were to us now-- human nature hasn’t changed much over the centuries, and it is very cool to understand more about those who came before us. I loved the cover art and I appreciate the chronological organization of the chapters. Overall this is a really great book that all ages can enjoy and learn from!

This is a well-illustrated guide to Greek myths for kids. The stories are just the right length to keep attention and provide the basic story and there are lots of little extras throughout. The artwork is bright and engaging. We still have an all-time favorite Greek mythology book in our house but this is a really nice entry to the theme.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This collection of tales from the Greek myths includes so many well known stories.  These retelling will be enjoyed by the intended audience of children and also, I think, by adults.  Inside this book are the stories of Zeus, the Titans, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Persephone, Prometheus, Midas and many more.  There is also a final section called "About the Myths" which provides additional information. 


The author begins by putting the myths in context.  They were used by the ancient Greeks to help in understanding their world and, because of this they were essential. Not only were the stories a part of the oral tradition, they also appeared in art, theaters and more, thus revealing their importance in daily life. 

The stories themselves are well told and accompanied by illustrations that enhance the text. The book looks engaging and encourages a reader to see what comes next.


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.  I would like to purchase this book when it is published.  It is a good and readable reference.

This was a really delightful exploration of Greek Myths. Absolutely loved the artwork throughout. I knew a lot of these stories/facts already but this was a great way to refresh my memory, and I think kids will love it. I really appreciated the pronunciation guide at the end, and had a good laugh about how many ladies Zeus "fell in love with" who then immediately "fell pregnant". Sort of strange how we consider these stories filled with violence and implied sex to be stories to share with children, but that's a conversation for another day haha.

Greek Myths is an excellent resource for kids and adults just starting out with Greek Mythology, It was a fun read that was very informative without being too heavy to keep a child's attention.

It featured some common myths like that of Heracles and some lesser known ones like the story of Atalanta. It gave each of the gods of Olympus their own page and info graphic. Additionally, the end of the book featured pages oh how the myths of old made their way to today's culture.

Finally, the illustrations were absolutely stunning. They were vibrant with eye catching colors that encapsulate the entire page.

If you are new to Greek Mythology this book is a great starting point. It is also a great reference book for kids.

This was a great read and I absolutely enjoyed it. I strongly recommend this to children of any age or those who don't know a whole lot about Greek Myths. I wish I had this book when I was first interested in learning about Greek Myths because it would have helped me with many articles I had to write throughout grade school. I think this is a great tool for children to start learning about Greek Myths.

DK books are usually an auto-buy for our children's collection, and Greek Mythology is always a hot topic. This version is starts with the creation of the world, and goes a bit chronologically through the major events in Greek Mythology. The major Gods and Goddesses are covered, as well as some of the Titans, heroes, monsters and notable humans. The cover is darker than usual for mythology books, which lends a more mature feeling to the book, and should appeal to older middle grades, although the tone of the writing seems aimed at younger middle grade. The art inside also seems to be the new style of DK illustration. This is a nice beginner edition.

I was actually really impressed with this book. First of all, the illustrations are stunning. Let's just get that out of the way. Second, it recounted the stories of Greek mythology in a very accessible way while also not dumbing it down, which can sometimes happen in children's nonfiction. I was really captivated by the stories. I'm not nearly as well versed in Greek mythology as I would like to be, and this book kind of lit a fire under me and got me really interested in the topic. It was nice to put the stories I am already familiar with in perspective while also discovering many new stories as well.

After reading this book (in one sitting, may I add) I spent a couple of hours watching YouTube videos on Greek mythology, particularly on my two new favorite myths: Artemis & Orion and Eros & Psyche. I also really liked the story of Atalanta. I've got a few mythology books on hold at the library now, too. I would definitely recommend this book to kids interested in mythology. Honestly, I'd recommend it to adults, too.

Thanks to DK Publishing and Netgalley for the review copy.
