Violence, hack and slash, dismember, noose adultery, Envy, Familial disputes and treachery. Lot of dark stuff in greek myth. Buy some other book for young kids. Lets not pollute their head before going to sleep.

excellent book
My 7-year-old loved this book. The stories are short, but detailed enough to paint the complete picture. Nice photos. I would recommend it for any young one interested in mythology or interesting stories.
