Recensione

Bolchazy-Carducci has just published a new workbook which will take an enormous burden off the shoulders of busy teachers. (It is really about time!) There is just no other resource out there that is as comprehensive and useful for junior and senior high students of Latin and the Classics.

Classical Mythology and More: A Reader Workbook, written by Marianthe Colakis and Mary Joan Masello, is an incredible ancillary resource for middle and high school Latin students. (TMRC B477) The authors have based their highly readable retellings on authentic primary sources, including Homer, Hesiod, Vergil, Ovid, and other Classical authors. The 19 chapters cover the Creation myths, the Muses, Olympian deities, adventures, love stories, hero tales, the houses of Atreus, Oedipus, Metamorphoses, the Trojans, Odysseus, Aeneas, and the Roman kings. Each chapter includes objective review exercises, 'musings' intended to stimulate higher level thinking, word derivation studies, and interesting facts linking mythology to real life. --Sharon Kazmierski, The Clearing House - Classical Outlook, Summer 2007 - Volume 84, Number 4
