I certainly think that older children should learn the history of Greece and other countries and that entails what they believed and how much their beliefs impacted their societies. And I think study of really old literature is important even though it is about these gods and goddesses. I do appreciate the author's stories about patience, etc. and realize that little ones need help learning to control themselves and a little storybook sometimes helps. Thank you for visiting me here and your comment.
