Sounds like fun… BUT, wouldn’t it be cool if the kid reading this could also learn, not that stuff is stupid, or that butts are involved, but that the 12 labors represent a trip through the zodiac, and that Hercules is a Sun god? Isn’t that mind-blowing, also? When I was young, I read the standards - Edith Hamilton and Bulfinch. These helped me navigate the worlds of comic books, to understand pantheons and a little bit about our old culture. But when I read Robert Graves’ The Greek Myths, that’s when it hit me that Jehovah = Jove, that Esther is Astarte, and that every solar king must harrow hell before being killed on a tree.
