About this book

Greek gods first appear among woods, rivers and hills in Mary Macgregor's account for younger readers. The opening presents Hellas as a place where people imagined divine life in the natural world. From that beginning, the book moves through tales of Perseus, Achilles and Odysseus toward the cities, laws and conflicts of ancient Greece. Its short chapters give individual stories and historical episodes their own space.

A later passage places the reader among the Greek commanders after the Persian campaigns. Pausanias contrasts a lavish captured camp with a simple Spartan meal, while the following chapter explains the growing power of Athens and its navy. These scenes show Macgregor's method of making political change concrete through people, conversations and memorable details. Readers seeking an introduction to Greek legend and ancient history will find both woven into a narrative written for children.
