Greek Mythology Help

[trevoraston]

I am interested in learning the very basics of Greek mythology. can anyone recommend a book about it. I'm talking like a page or two on each section of the mythology. just basic and simple - no heavy stuff. Even a kids book on the subject would be good. I would just like to know the very basic ideas of it.

thanks for your help

Wikpedia is as good a place as any to start:

there are often lots of books on greek mythology, egyptians, romans etc in those discount bookshops. ingri d'aulaire's book of greek myths is aimed at 9-12 year olds, but is a good introduction

I'd reccomend The Encyclopedia of Mythology by Arthur Cotterell - it's a fantastic mine of information, and it also covers Norse and Celtic mythology too. Also, beautiful pictures!

Robert Graves Greek Mythologies- also can I add that I know Wikipedia is the be all and end all to some people but it really annoys me when people request ideas for books and they get directred to a flipping website! happy reading.
