Book Description
Here are myths from Greeks and Romans, With chimeras, curses, omens, Strange seductions, gold abounding, Transformations most astounding, sorceresses, swans, and mazes, goddesses with lethal gazes, flying horses -- goodness gracious! Snaky heads and bulls salacious, minotaurs and monsters strangled, passions kinkily entangled -- All herein -- A Gift From Zeus -- (which, by the way, can cook your goose).
Children's Literature
In a rather "irreverent" light style of both text and watercolor illustrations, the daughter-father Steig team presents sixteen of the most popular Greek myths. Those who are familiar with Greek mythology would acknowledge an emphasis on the sexual encounters between gods/goddesses and humans;this collection exhibits that facet of the stories with little left to the imagination. The stories are presented in a humorous, light-hearted manner, while the illustrations are undeniably William Steig cartoon-like creations. In the right setting, with the right audience, the book could be great fun;however, one needs to be aware of the nudity in the illustrations and the openness of the text. Although probably written for a young adult audience, the book is best suited for an adult audience.
School Library Journal
Although in many ways this volume is as enthralling as the Steigs' A Handful of Beans (HarperCollins, 1998), in these unexpurgated myths, as in their pagan sources, lurk suicides and other distressing deaths, lust, rape, incest, and human-animal couplings of various sorts. That said, sophisticated readers will be charmed by the lively retellings, blending vernacular ("wiggly, giggly nymph") and elevated diction ("amorous revelry") in focused and fast-moving narratives. Although 16 myths are featured, many more are told in passing. Clever and elliptical brief verses are scattered throughout the text, reminding readers of the connection between myths and songs. William Steig's fierce, funny, faux-naive illustrations add a piquant touch: the irate Demeter, dead bunny and gull at her feet, with a duck bombing to Earth beside her, is particularly delicious. Others are more romantic or celebratory, but all are colorful and carefully composed. For older readers, this book marries two immortals: Steigian art and classical myth.
Kirkus Reviews
The Steigs follow up A Handful of Beans: Six Fairy Tales with tales of heroic deeds, passionate love, mistreated women, and Olympian hanky-panky from an older tradition. Except for Hercules, who gets but an occasional mention, the major gods, demigods, and mortals are here, from tenderhearted (and, as it turns out, —livered) Prometheus, to Orpheus and Eurydice. With the illustrator adding an occasional spiky sketch featuring scantily clad nymphs or narrow-shouldered heroes, the author massages the classical plots with casually phrased dialogue and occasional light verse, such as this from the ravening Chimæra: "A tender maid for breakfast, / A toothsome lad for lunch, / Oh, the succulent flesh / Of the young and the fresh! / Crunch, crunch, crunch." Readers already familiar with the stories will enjoy these somewhat skewed renditions immensely. |
