Features: The "Greek Mythology" series of books opens the door to Greek civilization for young people. Previously, our exposure to Greek literature, including Greek mythology, often came through Germany, the UK, the US, Russia, and other countries. The translation we are publishing this time is based on the official publications specifically designed for young people in Greece. It not only preserves the authentic "bloodline" of Greek culture but also conveys its original charm, accompanied by illustrations and text, making it suitable for young readers. This series of books was immediately recommended by the Greek Ministry of Education as extracurricular reading for Greek students and has been translated and published in multiple countries, including the US, Germany, Russia, France, and South Korea. It is a truly valuable cultural classic. Greek mythology is not only beautiful in story but also vivid in character portrayal, with profound meanings. The stories contain standards of right and wrong, truth and falsehood, good and evil, and beauty and ugliness, which still hold positive real-world significance for today's society. For young people, reading such beautiful stories can not only increase knowledge that contributes to the transmission of civilization, inspire imagination, and enhance a sense of responsibility but also cultivate temperament, fostering noble moral character and good personal qualities.
