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!

That is super brill! I'll be purchasing that for sure. Less than $4 is ridiculous - but I love in Aus so I'll probably have to spend more than $20 for a really good book 😩😂 Also: Thank you!
