Illustrations are timeless as are the3 stories. Supplier was very communicative too. Review: Beautiful timeless and inspiring - I grew up in America and this book was in my elementary school library (Dewy Decimal System, anyone?) but once I discovered it, it was checked out to me more often than not. The stories are wonderfully told and the illustrations and timeless. This book sparked my interest in fables myths and legends and my interest in drawing. I recently purchased this book for my friend’s daughter as a birthday present. Her parents have confirmed that she is finding it as fascinating as I. I am so glad they have updated this version with a bit about the D’Aulaires family and the writing and illustrations. It really is a wonderful book...I might have to get myself a copy, too. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 8,074 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7 in Children's Historical Fiction on Ancient Civilizations 32 in Folklore (Books) 37 in Greek & Roman Tales & Myths for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,233 Reviews | ## Images ![D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PJpSKhT9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One not to miss *by E***H on 11 February 2026* Fantastic book that has stood the test of time.

I've got it for my 9-year old who is studying greek mythology in school at the moment. She was absolutely delighted. We spent many hours reading the book and discussing the stories. The book is written in a simple language for 9-10 year olds, but probably anyone younger will find it hard to understand. Many concepts are explained simply and without extra ambiguity. Those who knows greek mythology may remember that gods relationships were a pure incest most of the time (i.e. Zeus and Io had an affair and Io was Zeus' neice and so on...) However, the wording in the book is such that it does not pose the question to young minds about having the relationship "other than being friends" with anyone related to them. Book also illustrates how ancient greeks explained the change of seasons and other things in the nature. I believe it is one of the things that child must have. P.S. The book is also a great value for money and the soft cover one is fairly large and presented well. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths - Ultimate Greek Mythology: Adventurous Stories, Fun Facts, Amazing History, and Beyond! - Treasury of Greek Mythology: Classic Stories of Gods, Goddesses, Heroes & Monsters --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52486973-daulaires-book-of-greek-myths](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52486973-daulaires-book-of-greek-myths) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
