It is rare that I finish a text book because I find most textbooks dull. This one wasn't too bad, my main issue with this textbook is that it doesn't ease you into anything, it just jumps right in. Also, certain chapters should be rearrange so that the transitions are smooth.

Useful as a textbook.

Nicely informative with great reading selections. In fact, the primary works included are the true beauty of this book. You'll go beyond Homer (though his work is there, too) and read Hesiod, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Ovid, Virgil, and some less-known works -- with the convenience of it all in one volume. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Classical mythology.
