Κριτική στα Ελληνικά πιο κάτω... I was curious for this series, so a few moths ago I picked Kate McMillan's book about Medusa. My comments for this book don't differ much. I was in need of something light, so I picked this book and read it in a leisure afternoon. This is a very twisted re-telling of the original myth, narrated from the view point of Hades. Gods and heroes appear to have completely different qualities and characters than we know of in this book, while the ancient world seems too commercial/Americanised. The book is quite humorous and easy to read and while some points irked me, this is a teen book after all and I'm sure its market segment would find it very good. I enjoyed it and I'm sure others will, but I hope that its readers, especially teenagers, will feel intrigued to learn the proper version of the story and delve deeper into Greek Mythology. Μία διασκεδαστική και εντελώς διαφορετική εκδοχή του μύθου της Αταλάντης, γραμμένη για (Αμερικάνους) εφήβους. Ο Άδης είναι ο αφηγητής της ιστορίας και παρουσιάζει την δική του εκδοχή των γεγονότων στα οποία παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο. Γενικά οι θεοί και οι ήρωες δεν έχουν και πολύ σχέση με τους θεούς και τους ήρωες όπως τους ξέρουμε από την Ελληνική Μυθολογία και ο αρχαίος κόσμος εμφανίζεται πολύ Αμερικανοποιημένος, αλλά το βιβλίο είναι γραμμένο με χιούμορ και είμαι σίγουρη ότι το κοινό στο οποίο απευθύνεται θα το ευχαριστηθεί. Ελπίζω μόνο να παρακινήσει τους αναγνώστες να αναζητήσουν και να μελετήσουν την αυθεντική Ελληνική Μυθολογία κάποια στιγμή και να μην μείνουν μόνο σε αυτό...

The myth of Atalanta with a told from a different perspective. Includes modern twists and quirky, fun word usage. Quick, enjoyable read that is a good introduction to a very old tale. Strong female characters active in an engaging new world, plus the old version of the myth is given space too. Not a good place to go if your looking for traditional myths, but it's a great read to stoke interest in those myths.
