---Michael Dirda, Washington Post"Sarah Iles Johnston brings exceptional verve and scholarship to
Gods and Mortals: Ancient Greek Myths for Modern Readers, a comprehensive volume. . . . [Johnston] restores the lustiness of tales that other writers have made bloodless. . . . Armchair enthusiasts may find some surprises."
---Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal"[The] gods make
Game of Thrones look like a pastoral idyll…this book is a delight and a ‘must have.’"
---Roger Barnes, Classics for All"[
Gods and Mortals] can almost be read as a novel…if you’re at all interested in the Greek myths and why they are still relevant to us in our modern world, you’ll want one on your bookshelf that you can keep and dip into over and again."
