I grew up reading and rereading Edith Hamilton’s mythology endlessly. Great to see her on the tubes!
Her Mythology is SO GOOD!
I've been wanting to cover it on my channel for awhile now.@@alanaestelle2076
Just love BookTubers that actually do substantial Book Reviews - thank you! ~Spike 🥸
I can’t think that there’s any better than here.
This is so kind! Thank you both!
Reading The Greek Way makes me think that they were the forefathers of democracy and the greatest guardians of ultimate freedom. We seem to be in need of a refresher course ourselves today in how to live free and flourishing.
AGREED!
I read this last year and I enjoyed it so much! I had read Mythology along time ago and loved it but I hadn’t realized she had written more until last year. I’ll keep an eye out for The Roman Way, now that you mention it.
Yes, Hamilton is so good! Hope you enjoy The Roman Way!
I've got a copy of this book that was published before you were born (1942), cuz I'm old (grin). Great discussion of The Greek Way, Alana. Thanks.
hahaha! Thanks for watching!
I love Edith Hamilton, great review I read her Greek mythology stories didn’t know about this book.
She's so good!
I'll have to add this one to my list. Currently revisiting Edith Hamilton's Mythology, in prep for rereading The Iliad, both of which I haven't read since high school.
Love Edith Hamilton! Enjoy!! :)
I read this about 2 years ago. I love her writing so much. It's a GREAT book.
Yes, she's so good!
I just picked this up today to read outside. Weird coincidence this was posted!
Now THAT is perfect timing! Haha
Get ready for a ton of comments because i am bingeing your videos this afternoon😅🤣 LOVE how you brought this around to civil liberties!!! You always have the hot takes 🤣🤣❤
LOOOL you're the best!
I definitely want to read some nonfiction. I have too much to read! This book seems great.
This is a good one! Slim but pack with a lot of good stuff.
Thanks for reading this book. I've never even heard of it, so this is great. Wonderful review; made me want to read it.
yay! Hope you enjoy it!
@@alanaestelle2076 I have no time to read ATM. I've been rereading Jane Eyre for 5 months.
It's because of your recommendation on what books to read to help you get an understanding of Greek mythology I got hooked on Edith Hamilton's works.
Since you recommended The Greek Way in one of your past videos (I've read it and thoroughly enjoyed it)
I've also gone on to read from her The Roman Way, Echo of Greece and I'm currently working my way through Mythology.
Great review as a usual chick, I'm back commenting after my sojourn through life😂 I missed commenting and I'm glad I can get the time to do so again💕
YAY! I'm so glad you enjoy Hamilton - she's a treat! I haven't read Echo of Greece yet.
And it's so nice to see you back!!!
I’ve always turned my nose up at the Hamilton books, I think stemming from a terrible experience with mythology in 7th grade. I’ve hated mythology since then.
Right now I’m reading _Ancient Iraq_ by Georges Roux and to my surprise I seem to be undergoing a sea change in my thinking about mythology however. Maybe I’ll get there.
Hahaha!! School really does leave a bad taste in our mouths for some books!
Sweet vid tysm 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for watching!
@@alanaestelle2076 Hell yeah dude. Ur a titan of wisdom and grace 🤑
@@Dino_Medici LOL thank you!
@@alanaestelle2076 🤓🙌⚡️✨
Just got into the book. Mami coooooooooooooooks omg haha
How am I just hearing about this book wtf!
It's a hidden treasure!
She opens basically saying the Egyptians were cowards that submitted to death, but the Greeks said yes to the tragedy of life.
The audacity I’m dead 😭😭😭
Of course, beside what was assigned in high school and freshman year of college, I have little depth with the Greeks. However, IIRC my teachers in the 4th and the 7th grades taught us from one of the Edith Hamilton publications. This was several years ago, at a time in my life when I believed there was no currency in Paganism. Since then, I've discovered that there many groups who reject Christianity and celebrate Earth religions, like the Greeks did. Unfortunately, it's too difficult for me to accept all that is necessary to take the Greeks seriously. But that's just me, and I feel I have the right to like and dislike according to whatever criteria form my opinions.
You definitely have a right to like and dislike according to your criteria - I love opinions LOL
