Unless you read it at 10 years of your own accord, it will not impress

Ah, maybe. I don't remember it very well, let alone what the writing style was like.

It's a book for preteen children. Why would you expect to enjoy it as an adult?

I read it at age seven or eight and loved it, very glad I did.

>hamilton's mythology
but that is a meme—bulfinch is clearly superior. reading hamilton to be "able" to "start with the greeks" is merely perfunctory.

that said, edith edited my complete plato volume and did a mint job.
