Summary

This study guide complements Classical Mythology, 6/e , reviewing chapters 1-24 of the text and providing practice tests with answers. By isolating this important information, the Companion helps students to quickly and firmly grasp the source material, giving them more time to study the meaning and interpretation of the myths themselves.
