In Greek Mythology, you will discover the backstories of the heroes, villains, gods, and goddesses that enjoy popularity in today’s shows and films.

  1. I remember you talking about Greek Mythology and Kings. Conquerors… before. Both of which are very much in my radar for reading next. 🙂 And is “Het No-Nonsense Meditatieboek” about meditation? I see you’ve given it a 4/2 rating, which I didn’t understand…
