I walked past this book in Waterstones and immediately felt the urge to pick it up. I am currently ploughing my way through Bullfynches Mythology and therefore could not resist the urge to scan the first few pages.

The first paragraph alone told me that I had to own this book and see how Marie Phillips manages to weave the ancient into the 21st Century.

The book is fantastically entertaining and an enthralling read. I read the book in less than 10 hours as I was caught up in each and every twist and turn of the plot.

Anyone who loves mythology would be amused by the way that Phillips uses the traditional element of tragedy so often the basis of Greek mythology in this 21st Century version.

For anyone who struggles to remember which god does what and who is related to whom - this book is a godsend. Artemis, Apollo, Eros et al come alive in such a way that you can vividly imagine living in a modern world where the great gods of Olympus walk past you every day.

Get it! Read it! Enjoy it!
