Question

I once heard a radio program about the psychological meanings behind many of the myths, and have heard of Erdinger's book. Is it any good, as it is not stocked in a library?

If you're referring to Edward Edinger's "The Eternal Drama," it's available on Amazon. Edinger was a highly regarded Jungian analyst, having produced a large body of scholarly works.

Question

Would you recommend reading "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" for people who have just started to learn about Greek mythology?

Billy Buttlicker

Community Answer

Yes absolutely! "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" is a good read. You can also read Rick Riordan's other books that are all also about mythology, but different cultures. If you want to learn more about the gods and heroes, read "Percy Jackson's Greek Gods and Goddesses" and "Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes".
