Greek Mythology

If you've read the Percy Jackson books or are just interested in Greek Mythology, I have a few good books to read .  If your looking for something quick and easy, The Greek Gods and Heros and Monsters of Greek Myth by Evslin, Evslin & Hoopes is the way to go .  These are easy books with the basic stories .  If you are looking for a more in depth look at the Gods and stories Edith Hamilton's book Mythology is a good one to try out .  It has more of stories than the other two and more information about each God .  This is definitely a MUCH harder book though .

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a five book series by Rick Riordan .  The books follow the life of Perseus Jackson who is a demi-god . Meaning one of his parents is a Greek God and one is regular person .  I can't really tell you to much about the books without spoiling the entire thing, so you have to read these yourself . :)  Rick Riordan brings Greek Mythology into the real world .  Famous landmarks are now places from mythology .  Mount Olympus is over the Empire State building, monsters are living in the Bermuda Triangle, and the Underworld is under Los Angeles !  This series is definitely for ages 9 and up . If you haven't read these yet, you should .  Visit Rick Riordan's website for more information about him and the series:  www.rickriordan.com  Enjoy :)
