Stunning designs

Serves as a nice introduction to key figures from Greek mythology. Not particularly text heavy, with small bits of information, but you want to get this for it's illustrations! The book is quite large, with full page illustrations of each god / hero. Visually breathtaking, striking designs and impressive use of colour. Great coffee table book.
