Greek Mythology Books The school library will have over thirty books on mythology held in closed reserve in Ms. Blake's classroom or in the library. Some of these books cover one story, hero, creature, or god; others tell about many of the gods, goddesses, heroes, and creatures. In addition there are good entries in many of the encyclopedias. I suggest that you look at some of the following titles: Greek Myths and Legends by Cheryl Evans and Anne Millard Gods and Goddesses by Wendy Mass Bulfinch's Mythology by Thomas Bulfinch Greek Gods and Heroes by Robert Graves Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaires' INFOhio Resources www.infohio.org Select resources for grades 6-8 Oxford Reference Online This resource should give the basic information on your character.
