About the author

Lucas Russo is an up-and-coming author with an extensive background in world mythology. His love for writing is made richer by the inspiration he gleans from traveling — from working with classicists in Greece to deep-diving into esoteric cultures in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
His passion for putting his own spin on history and compelling historic events, combined with his colorful experiences, makes Lucas’ work uniquely compelling. From bestselling “Unocovering Greek Mythology” to “Uncovering Norse Mythology” and more.
When he’s not writing or traveling, Lucas indulges in self-development endeavors that not only enrich his life further, but also fortifies his zest for the world, its people, and the stories yet to be told.
He also pursues a thriving career as an engineer, runs several Facebook mythology groups, voraciously reads books about his various interests, and provides group classes on mythology. However, if it were truly up to him, Lucas would spend most of his free time with his lovely canine companion, Mimosa.
I am currently working on more books and will keep you updated!

- Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2021Verified Purchasegreat product and very informative just as picture
- Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2023Verified PurchaseBook is very well written and interesting. It's just smaller than what I was hoping, and most of the myths I was aware of. I was hoping for more, but still was very good as an intro. My daughter read it and loved it.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2021Verified PurchaseIt’s pretty basic you can pretty much find all the same information online so it wasn’t totally worth getting it because I didn’t really have any extra information but I thought maybe it would
- Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2022Verified PurchaseGreat book, 4 stars because I feel like pictures/ illustrations would be quite useful

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for Greek Mythology lovers
Verified PurchaseLike other reviews say, it is in fact compact but powerful. This Greek Mythology book is an easy smooth read, with great detail and explanation on all there is to know about the Greek Gods and Goddesses and everything in between. I’ve been into greek mythology for a while now and this book went in depth into topics i didn’t really know much about, even when i thought i knew most of it. It is so interesting and engaging that you’ll probably finish it in one sitting. I highly recommend as a starter or as a concise overall book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good and clear
Verified PurchaseThis was my first book on greek mythology and it was such a pleasure to read it. The writing style was good and sometimes the author makes funny jokes which helps with reading the book. I think I have a good foundation on Greek mythology now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact but powerful
Verified PurchaseVery nicely done.
This covers it all, makes a plunge profound, and relates the point in a way that is drawing in and instructive.
It is an all out page turner.
Humanity consistently appears to require something to turn upward to, (to keep us in line?), saints, animals that are more noteworthy than we are. Religion gives comparable structure to us also, and there are extraordinary equals, in my brain, between most religions and folklore.
An overwhelming undertaking without a doubt to handle the Greek divine beings and goddesses, yet here it is finished with style and detail, giving far beyond I anticipated.
With a compact timetable that presents the characters all through their development/birth, it assisted me with getting a handle on the family structure and elements such a great amount of in a way that is better than the grim books read before.
This is a brief yet far reaching review of Greek folklore. I have been intrigued by the whole subject since school, there are fights for power, skewer measured consciences, desires for youth and magnificence, and furies unreasonable, with the inescapable dismal or terrible outcomes.
what's more, it dispatched my advantage in fantasies and legends, reasoning, the human psyche, and otherworldliness, from that point forward.
This book is wonderful as a boost for any individual who has been keen on Greek folklore, or as a first look. Direct statements from source material would add to the experience, and give perusers a sample of how clear and rich Greek can be.
The book is anything but difficult to peruse, however interesting. Also, engaging! The tales of the different divine beings are entrancing! We conceded them such human characteristics; people made divine beings that are as defective as we may be! However, it's incredible enjoyable to find out about them.
Surveyed in the United States on December 15, 2020
I was wonderfully astonished by how exhaustive this book was, given that it's not long and Greek folklore can get pretty tangled. It begins with the Greek form of the start of the universe and attempts to disentangle what happened when (notwithstanding clashing source material), and follows its way to the Olympians, the most notable of the Greek divine beings. It likewise covers places like Hades and half-divine beings like Achilles and Hercules.
The fantasies and legends that we made for ourselves have by one way or another engaged us and in fact served us here and there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise Overview of Greek Mythology
Verified PurchaseAs a retired English and Social Studies teacher, I always enjoyed teaching Greek Mythology, and it was often my students' favorite part of the curriculum. I wish I had this little book when I was teaching because it does a great job of quickly summing up each God and Goddess and their relationships to each other, which can sometimes be confusing. Uncovering Greek Mythology also includes lesser known deities...at least ones I had never heard of before. I especially enjoyed the author's explanations of the origins of words we use every day like panic (pan), out in the sticks (styx), etc. I knew some of them, but some were new to me, and being a teacher, I love learning new things! Fun read!
