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 through translations from Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia. The translation we are publishing this time is based on an official Greek publication specifically designed for young readers. 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 material for Greek students and has been translated and published in multiple countries, including the United States, 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 readers, engaging with such beautiful stories can not only increase their knowledge, which contributes to the transmission of civilization, inspire imagination, and strengthen a sense of responsibility but also cultivate their temperament, fostering noble moral character and good personal qualities.
