Fight like Alexandra Andros
I'm a huge fan of Greek mythology to begin with but the vivant series is my fav orite. Jennifer L Armentrout is a spectacular writer who work is always outstanding.

Alexandra Andros (Alex) is a great lead character strong and cool Harry but brilliant follows her heart and always does the right thing if people want a strong female lead you can not get better than Alex

Audiobook: Stephen Fry’s excellent book narrated expertly.
I love Stephen Fry’s voice, and he reads his book so well. There’s great detail and great story choices. I’m a big fan of Greek mythology anyway, ever since I was a child, and this is a superb way to revisit those stories. It’s a great selection, I really enjoyed his take on the stories and what he added to the dialogue of the Gods, Goddesses and unfortunate humans.

A decent sword & sandals film. Generally more like 300 than Clash of the Titans thankfully. From the same producers I believe as 300 and it has a very similar CGI visual style to it. A nice twist to some of the Greek mythology in the story. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the SFX are very good. Add to that Mickey Rourke giving a good performance as the chief villain and you have a very good film.

Ancient Greece, without a doubt, is my favourite period of history and Greek mythology has always intrigued me.

Weirdly, this was my first book with a Greek mythological theme and I can't say I wasn't blown away.

And to top it all, it was one of the best sizzling romances I have read in a while...I mean you could feel the heat.

A short non-fiction ebook that draws comparisons from the magic written by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series to the historical myths and folklore from which it's based. Invisiability, transforming into a creature, and warding off evil are just a few of the topics you'll find in this book.

I found this to be a fascinating read and would recommend it to any fans of Harry Potter who are interested in Mythology and Folklore.

Throws everything against the wall, but a lot sticks
Light-hearted and funny, this newest version uses good enough voices storytelling to add to the Scooby Doo cannon. Despite breaking a little bit with the 'show us four suspects and do a big reveal' format, it accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is provide entertainment for the whole family.
