From Aphrodite to Zeus, Michael Wiik covers the immortals of Greek mythology with brief bios and a pronunciation key. "The names are NOT hard to pronounce, don't let them scare you. they use K's instead." Best clicks for high-school students are the three Fun Fact Quizzes, and the useful table of Greek Names vs. Roman Names. "Greek Mythological Beings are often confused with the Romans. They are, for the most part, completely different and the names should not be used interchangeably."
