Berens litters most of the retellings of the myths and legends with his over-arching commentary on how each mythological tale and archetype is essentially the work of a "savage", "crude" or "unrefined" civilization. ( ) Characters: Hermes, Apollo, and Zeus Setting: heavens Theme: Forgiveness Genre: Greek myth Summary: Within a few days of Hermes birth he runs off and steals his brother Apollo’s cows. He then finds a tortoise shell and turns it into a lyre. When his brother found out he took his cows and ate one he was angry! His father, Zeus stops Apollo from harming Hermes. Hermes gives Apollo his lyre. Audience: Beginners Curriculum ties: Greek history and myths Personal Response: This is a simple myth that incorporates Greek Gods and the basis of other myths. A little more detail would have been nice but it was intended for beginning readers. A pretty average overview of Greek and Roman deities, and the occasional legend. It's not encyclopedic, by any means, nor quite anecdotal enough for leisure reading, but it does create a nice framework for anyone looking to get a general overview of Greco-Roman religious structure. It's also considerably dated, with some pretty tight-lipped primness at times, but that's to be expected from the time it was written in. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
