I already knew most of these tales but this is a great way to introduce Greek Mythology to kids of younger ages. Some o these tales will be familiar if you read any of the series by Rick Riodran or watched Hercules.

Greek Myths by Diane Namm. The stories emotions can range from cheerful, melancholy, enraged, etc. The book has 15 chapters and 160 pages. The genre is traditional literature because they are stories past down from Greeks. One of the characters is King Midas, he was a guy that wished everything he touched turned to gold. That had a sad and happy ending. Another character is Demeter, she is the Goddess of harvest. Her daughter had to live with Hades for three months. That is why we have winter. So you can thank Persephone for that.
