100 grčkih mitova
100 Greek Myths by Lucy Coats, illustrated by Anthony Lewis, is a child-friendly collection of Greek myths. This is an ideal introduction to Greek mythology for children, but also an attractive read for all lovers of classic stories.
The stories are told through the narrative of Atticus, a shoemaker from Crete, who travels through Greece to a storytelling festival near Troy, sharing myths with the people he meets. The book covers the period from the creation of the world to Odysseus’ return to Ithaca, including famous stories such as Daedalus and Icarus, Pandora, Persephone and Demeter, Aphrodite, Perseus and Medusa, Theseus, King Midas, Echo and Narcissus, and the labors of Heracles, such as the cleansing of the Augean stables and the fight against the Nemean lion.
The myths are told in simple, child-friendly language, making them accessible to readers ages 7 and up. Anthony Lewis’s full-color illustrations further bring the stories to life, while a map of Atticus’ journey helps readers follow his journey through ancient Greece. The book not only entertains, but also educates, introducing young readers to the world of Greek mythology, gods, heroes, and mythical creatures. It explores themes of creation, destiny, love, and heroism, with an emphasis on the cultural importance of myths.
