From Booklist
This entry in the Greek Beasts and Heroes series reprints eight more myths from a larger collection never published in this country. Though the sex and most of the violence is absent and the tale of Theseus is problematic (the text unnecessarily gives Ariadne’s ball of yarn magical qualities and also gives the Minotaur a human body while the accompanying picture doesn’t), the retellings stick fairly closely to the common plotlines. Framed as tales told by itinerant storyteller Atticus, and presented with cartoon illustrations, these myths will serve as sanitized but acceptable introductory versions. Grades 3-5. --John Peters
