Book of Greek myths doesn't have an author. I love it! It has just tons of Greek myths but it's told so we can actually understand the text. This book also has lots of pretty pictures!
Book of Greek Myths is very good to have if you were to read Percy Jackson and The Olympians. I noticed that people and words refer to Greek myths in real life. A lot more than you'd imagine! For example, there was one story where a mother wants her children to be immortal but since her husband is mortal, her children will be too. So, she tried to burn off the mortal part of her babies but it killed them all. Her last baby survived through the operation, she named him Achilles. Before she could finish, she was caught and she had to flee. The baby grew up to be a hero but his heel was still mortal. Hence the name of achilles heel!
