A book about gods and monsters, Argonauts, myths, and everything related to ancient mythology for middle-school-aged children.

"A Children's Course in Ancient Mythology" is a humorous retelling of ancient Greek myths in a modern vein. In it, the author offers young readers a more humane interpretation, apparently attempting to avoid the cruelty that characterized Greek myths. Thus, his story of Icarus and Daedalus ends with a truly happy ending. And not only that.
