PREFACE

Welcome to Greek Mythology for Teens, a book that uses reader’s theater plays to retell ancient myths and legends. This is the second book in the Mythology for Teens series and also the second to deal with Greek and Roman mythology. Additional information accompanies each play, explaining the myth’s relevance to the modern world, providing background information and commentary on the myth, as well as suggesting other topics of discussion or exploration. Only a handful of the Greco-Roman myths are presented here, and this book does not claim to be a complete collection of mythology. It is a sampling—one that hopefully will leave you hungry for more. In my opinion, the myths of the Greeks and Romans are the best that the world has to offer. I hope you enjoy reading, learning, and acting from this text, as it was designed for education, as well as entertainment. Please feel free to contact me with comments and suggestions.
