Summary
Details

Greek mythology has, without a doubt, some of the most well-known legends in the world. Like most people, the olympians had their fair share of family drama. This book pays strict attention to the genealogy of the greek gods and the relationships they had with one another, whether they were good, bad, or incestuous.

These divine beings gifted humanity joy and despair, and the ancient peoples of greece and other countries related their own world to the actions of the gods. However, the gods and titans were all corporeal and capable of physical interaction with humanity.

Here is a preview of what's inside:
