List of the best Ancient Greek and Greek mythology books!

[francescool]

These are some of the most popular Greek mythology books! I haven't read all of these, so please don't take my word for it completely but feel free to take a read and leave your reviews in the forum! The first two are ancient classics and the last two are modern takes by non-Greek writers. I think reading an array of Ancient Greek books will give you the most rich understand of the history and mythology.

1. Iliad (of course!)
2. The Odyssey
3. Circe by Madeline Miller
4. Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes

At the time when I read: Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, by Edith Hamilton, I thought the stories were boring. I realized as an adult that they were boring because I was in the 7th Grade and was too young to appreciate them. I read it again as an adult and became hooked on the stories ever since! My all time favorite. But I do like the Lightening Thief stories for their "fun factor"...
