OnTheBrink Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I already own Myths of Greece and Rome by Guerber, and Bullfinch's Mythology. I just want some study guides or lit guides for either. Can someone point me in the right direction? Secondarily, would D'aulaire's mythology book be too young? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) FREE study guide for Bullfinch's Mythology, from Susan Fairhead, Honors English Course, St. Francis High School: http://www.sfhsnet.org/pdfs/Fairhead/BulfinchStudyGuideCh1-28%202009.pdf FREE study guide for Hamilton's Mythology from Sparknotes -- though, do be aware Sparknotes leans towards Freudian, Feminist, and Sexual Themes whenever possible For a FEE: SMARR study guide = http://www.smarrpublishers.com/products.php?detail=1&pid=84 For a FEE: Bookrags summary/guide for Bullfinch's Mythology = http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/Thomas_Bulfinch Secondarily, would D'aulaire's mythology book be too young? We used some of each of D'Aulaire, Bullfinch, Hawthorne, and another author I can't remember at the moment. The "family tree" in D'Aulaire was EXTREMELY helpful in keeping all the players and their family connections straight. Also very useful was the index -- we would look up a particular character and go straight to the page and get a 1-3 paragraph synopsis of what they were most known for, and then get back to the Illiad, Oydessey or Aeneid.

Myra Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I used Classical Mythology & More: A Reader Workbook with my boys last year to to prepare for Medusa Exam and National Mythology Exam. (Brag alert – they both got Gold Medals!) Anyways, if you're interested I have it for sale on the sale board! Myra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
