Features: The "Greek Mythology" series of books opens the door to Greek civilization for young readers. Previously, our exposure to Greek literature, including Greek mythology, often came from Germany, Britain, the United States, Russia, and other countries. The translation we are publishing this time is based on the official publications designed for Greek youth in Greece. It not only preserves the authentic "bloodline" of Greek culture but also conveys its original charm. Moreover, it is richly illustrated, making it suitable for young readers' comprehension. Upon its release, the series was recommended by the Greek Ministry of Education as extracurricular reading material for Greek students and has been translated and published in multiple countries, including the United States, Germany, Russia, France, and South Korea. This 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 readers, engaging with such beautiful stories can not only enrich their knowledge, inspire imagination, and strengthen their sense of responsibility but also cultivate their temperament, fostering noble moral character and good personal qualities.
