"With her characteristic wit, sarcasm, and brutal honesty about how truly terrible the Greek gods were, Albert embarks upon a mythological tour de force with references along the way to pop culture and ancient Greek society, written in a way that is perfect for the twenty-first century." --Ryan Stitt, host of The History of Ancient Greece podcast, "Liv brings her trademark panache to this collection! This handbook is packed with connections between ancient myth and popular culture. It's a wild ride accompanied by Sara Richard's gorgeous illustrations, suitable for those who adore mythology and enthusiastic beginners. This book is a treat for anyone who likes their ancient past with a dose of humor. We know that we do!" --Dr. Rad and Dr. G, cohosts of The Partial Historians podcast, "This is not your grandma's mythology primer. Liv Albert continues her work to bring Greek mythology into modern times with this refreshing, forward-thinking, and best of all, hilarious almanac. Paired with the stunning artwork by Sara Richard, the book feels like an heirloom created for our generation to pass down." --Emily Edwards, author and host of the Fuckbois of Literature podcast, "Beautifully illustrated and instantly absorbing, Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook tells the familiar stories in a fresh, entertaining way and also delves into more obscure myths, origin stories, and characters--leaving no corner of Greek mythology unexplored." --Jenny Williamson, cohost of the Ancient History Fangirl podcast, "Gripping, deftly executed, and beautifully told, Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook is at once a primer for those new to mythology and a compass for those looking to further explore the stories that still shape our world. Feminist and wise, this is a must-read for fans of Lore Olympus or Percy Jackson." --Genn McMenemy, cohost of the Ancient History Fangirl podcast, "Brilliant, funny, and exciting....Greek mythology can be complex, and Liv has explained it in a way that is easy to digest, with some beautiful imagery alongside the stories." --Jeff Murray, artist, "Albert gives a witty and unapologetic perspective on famous classical stories through a modern, feminist lens." --Rachel Smythe, creator of the Lore Olympus Webtoon, "I highly recommend reading this book if you want to know all the gossip straight from Mount Olympus. This will be a treasured book for any new or longtime Greek mythology obsessives." --Mari Phillips, owner of MYTHSNTiTS, illustrator

    I had a first-rate experience with this seller. They promptly (super duper quickly!) shipped the item and it was packaged securely and safely. The item is as described. It has an exceptional appearance and condition, which is impressive as it is some years old. It's truly a unique and fascinating "fandom collection". It is a high quality item. The pricing is fair and reasonable. I very much suggest you check out their wares and I highly recommend this stellar seller A+++
