Thanks for your comments SB, and wish Jupiter and Juno well. I had a dog names Zeus, a Dutch Keeshond. He came after two or three German Shepherds and other dogs named "Dutchie"

Dorian, thank you for bringing this book to my attention! I love mythology and in fact my two cats (kittens, still) are named Jupiter and Juno, which I think is rather fitting since they are siblings but will spend their lives together as though they were married. My last cat was named after Zeus (but his half sister was named Coco, not a goddess, but a classy kitty). I didn't purposely name my latest male cat Jupiter because the last was named after Zeus, but I think it's a nice touch of continuity.... (Since the god Jupiter in Roman is Zeus the Greek god.)

But back to mythology.... there are great stories and once one reads and understands mythology (not just Greek and Roman, but Nordic, Egyptian, various Asian beliefs, etc.) one can see the true depth and richness of not just Western civilization, but of mankind.

I hope children will read this book and have their imaginations stimulated. They and the world will be better off.
