Would anyone have book recommendations for someone trying to gain a better grasp on Greek mythology? I would be really appreciative.

Edit: I just located a similar thread elsewhere, sorry for the repeat.

I enjoyed “Gods In Everyman” and “Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women's Lives” by Jean Shinoda Bolen. Her approach is rather psychological but the author gives correct descriptions of the gods and their respective range of authority. I found it quite helpful to relate to the gods and learn about my favorites.
