Like most books edited by Martin Greenberg, you get a good mix of stories. But don't read this book if you have no idea about Greek mythology - you will be completely lost, since most don't bother to explain themselves (or tweak the myths entirely, and expect you to get the joke). Overall, it was a fun read that fills up your time in an enjoyable way.

the Greek Gods at their best, worse, and most comical

Daw has done it again. This is yet another one of the quirky, fun anthologies with all original tales about the Greek Gods. Some of the stories are serious, and some are just plain fun! For example in Tayna Huff's brilliant story February Thaw, Demeter must try to reconcile Persephone and Hades when they have a lover's quarrel, or the entire world can be doomed to eternal summer. Some stories deal with more serious matters such as Flight by Jane Yolen, a stirring story about a child's quest to ride Pegasus.
There are 17 stories in all, including
Drown Night With the Hope of Day by Nina Kiriki Hoffman
The Littlest Maenad by Esther Friesner
Flight by Jane Yolen
Mantrik Rites by Jon DeCles
Harpies Discover Sex by Deborah Wheeler
In the Quiet After Midnight by Charles de Lint
The Sword of Herakles by Irene Radford
To Hades and Back by Karen Haber
In Re: Nephelegeretes by Lawrence Watt-Evans
Hekate's Hounds by Diana Paxson
The Arrows of Godly Passion by Resnick and DiChario
Traps by Jo Clayton
February Thaw by Tanya Huff
The Third Song by Roberta Gellis
For a Transcript, Send Five Dollars by Anne Braude
Kin by Michelle West
The Divine Comedy by Dennis McKiernan
I highly recommend this book to fans of fantasy fiction, fans of Greek mythology, anthology fans, or just people who like fun, original fiction. With the wide variety of topics, Gods, Goddess, and settings, there's something in this novel for everyone!

Greek mythology and new fiction combine wonderfully...

These stories are a refreshing difference from modern fiction. Many are very well researched, thought out, and take you back to the ancient land from whence the gods arose. Other stories are set in modern times, with ancient dieties reacting to changes and strange new attitudes. All mix knowledge of the classics with new fiction work. Wonderful reading!
