Myths is an engaging collection of the classic stories of Greek and Roman mythology, retold in language that can be enjoyed by young readers with a wide range of linguistic abilities. Presenting 20 well-known myths, the book takes readers into this ancient world of belief in gods and goddesses and explores the imprint of these beliefs on contemporary society.
To enhance readers' interest and comprehension, Myths includes:
- an introduction to Greek and Roman mythology
- biographical profiles of gods and goddesses
- a crossword puzzle focusing attention on spelling the names of the gods and goddesses

- cumulative evaluations testing the reader's understanding of groups of five myths, including vocabulary, plot, characters, and the Greek and Roman beliefs presented
- enrichment activities suggestions
Five additional stories illustrate how Greek and Roman mythology applies to everyday modern life. Each story explains how a common symbol in modern society is derived from a Greek or Roman myth such as the lyre that signifies music and the olive branch symbolizing peace.
