|
<p>When I saw "Explained" in the title, I thought the explanations would point |
|
things in the stories that reflected things in the Greek society at the time.</p> |
|
<p>But no, explanations are way more simpler than that.</p> |
|
<p>For example, the mith of Odysseus and his voyage back home, starting when he |
|
has to choose between facing Scylla or Chyrabdis, one a monster of 6 heads and |
|
another a huge whirlpool. The explanation: "between a rock and hard place". I |
|
mean, it doesn't take much to realize that either option is terrible. You don't |
|
need explanation for that.</p> |
|
<p>On the other hand, some explanations are, actually, explanations about the |
|
chosen story. Some characters in Greek mythology have different narrations for |
|
the same story -- for example, there are, according to the book, 6 different |
|
tales of Artemis and Orion, all with the same start, the same ending, but |
|
different content "in between". This is nice.</p> |
|
<p>And, even if the explanations aren't a huge thing, the select stories are |
|
pretty good.</p> |
