The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things.

(ps. in Rome, the plebs were the ordinary people. You and me. This is Classics, for Us). Bonus points: if you're studying Classics right now, I made sure to include all those important bits that'll definitely come up in your exa ...
