Take the book you read, tune down the violence and give it to a boy. D'Aulaires Greek myths are wonderful and Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series will get even the most reluctant reader excited about reading. Rosemary Sutcliff's duo retelling The Illiad and The Odyssey are a little more advanced but are a wonderful way to start kids on the road to loving great literature. The best part is that they don't even realize they are learning. I haven't reviewed these yet or I would link to them ... but I do have a post about the release of Rick Riordan's upcoming 5th book in the series and that is where clicking on my name will take you today.

I even loved that old movie The Clash of the Titans. One book I had focused on the women, but it was a somewhat revisionist rewriting of the myths. The illustrations were almost comic book like (think "Xena: Warrior Princess") and the stories themselves always showed how women used their bodies and their minds to get what they wanted, and now always in nice ways.

What amazed me most was that this was the religion of the time. None of the "gods" seemed very worthy of worship to me! The same went for Celtic and Nordic mythology as well, which I also studied. I do find myths very interesting, I must admit. I was a Lit major so I’ve studied Greek myths. What amazed me most was that this was the religion of the time.

Maybe I'll have to pick one up and read it with adult eyes...
