      I can wholeheartedly recommend Stephen Fry’s books on Greek Mythology (Mythos, Heroes and Troy).

      I wish I had a link, but I just wrote that on the fly when the coffee kicked in. It’s one of my favorite Greek myths, so I know it off the top of my head.

      A really good book if you could get through all that would be Edith Hamilton’s Mythology. It’s a huge compilation of myths, primarily Greek with the tail end being Norse, and it’s a staple! Any library is bound to have it, but it’s well worth owning.

      Just did a quick Google search, and a website called thriftbooks.com has it for as cheap as $3.59!!

      EDIT: Also, thank you.

        Off the top of your head, the way the information had been passed down for hundreds of years, love to see it!
