Susan
only reason this is 4 stars is the book came slightly damaged with bent corners and a small dint in the front but the appearance isn’t a big factor for me. Received in excellent condition. a complex character - if U want him to be - or a bloodthirsty savage , a sadistic psychopath of great use to War Lords hungry for power . Writing style make you admire each chapter.

Rieu, this book is a must read for all who love Greek mythology. The cover, pages and the print are equally good.
