Compared to the ancient Greeks and Romans, the Mayan and Aztec civilizations seem modern. Still, their mythological tales are rooted in a long history and offer a glimpse into the colorful and violent Mayan and Aztec traditions. Each myth is followed by a Question and Answer section which covers themes, symbols, and characters; and an Expert Commentary section, which makes for great discussion. Brilliant illustrations help the stories come to life.

      After lengthy prefaces about the historical contexts for the story cycles, the books in this series retell several myths from the Greek or Mayan and Aztec cultures. The flat retellings are belabored by introductions summarizing the stories and followed by inane question-and-answer pages and dense "expert commentary." The stippled pen-and-ink illustrations lack grace. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these YA Mythology titles: "Mayan and Aztec Mythology" and "Heroes in Greek Mythology". ]
