Booklist
Hades
Rather than providing a dry, encyclopedic entry on the god of the underworld, this entry in the Greek Gods and Goddesses series (8 titles) appropriately uses story to relate the character. The title opens with the tale of Orpheus, each page including brief text boxes set among a colorful backdrop and a variety of Hades-oriented art, including prints, sculpture, and illustrations, as well as supplemental inserts that add context to the main text. The second section takes a more factual approach to the myth of Hades, and the third discusses the figure in its relation to real history and culture. Back matter includes a comprehension quiz, glossary, and further resources. All in all, a visually striking, well-rounded introduction to one of the more popular Greek gods.
