I‘ve always loved mythology and can‘t believe I didn‘t read this one earlier. It‘s a great starter book for someone just curious about myths. I enjoyed returning to all the old favorites from Greek and Norse mythology & while also hearing some from other cultures that were new to me. I liked how he mentions specific poems and other famous pieces that use mythology as a reference point. I don‘t think I‘ll ever tire of reading about Greek mythology.

I posted this 3 years ago , but @LeahBergen has me revisiting great spines .There are a kagillion editions of Bullfinch‘s Mythology, but when I found this old edition with a bold centurion (is there any other kind?) on the spine I had to buy it.

batsy Ooh, nice 😍 With a Robert Graves intro, too! 3y
LeahBergen Love this! A good centurion always brightens a book spine. 😆 3y
merelybookish The bookends are wonderful! 😻 3y
Leftcoastzen @merelybookish they are actually clay & hollow, their eyes glow if you put tea candles in them , I use fakes because I don‘t want them smoky inside . 3y
CarolynM Wow! 3y

Rating: 8/5 stars

Come on, who doesn't love mythology? Because I love reading about them and have been fascinated about them ever since I could remember. And yes, I reread from time to time. It also happens to be my bedside book.

It is always fun to shop your shelves! The tagged book was a happy surprise, I can take it off my list of books to buy. The Herodotus was easy to locate, which was unexpected.

Mommamanzi @ForeverNerdy One sweet little baby passed. We think it may have had some internal issues due to the fall. The other one is thriving! I get regular updates from the wildlife reserve care taker I took him to. She even said when he is ready to be released she will do it at our house! (edited) 7y

Other student: What are you reading?
Me: Bulfinch's Mythology.
Him: Why?
Me: Because I love to read.
Him: Why?
Me: Secret.
Him: Tell me!!!
Me: Sssh my father, Poseidon, told me to read as much as I can while I'm in the mortal world.
Student: *looks at me with a confused face*

So my 10 year old reader is hooked on Percy Jackson and wanted a greek mythology book. So we went and got him a kickass one (and a couple more things 😬)

[DELETED] 2232195534 Yay! Love that Percy and so glad it makes kids want to know more about mythology!! 😀 8y
