So...I have a somewhat weird request for information. The internet knows everything, right?
The vast majority of my knowledge of Greek mythology comes from books aimed at kids, and that a long time ago. I have recently found myself wanting to revisit those stories, but in a closer to the actual sources kind of way, without having to learn ancient Greek. Sort of, y'know, like reading the Eddas but with Olympians instead of the Aesir. Except that I know nothing about Greek whatsit beyond what I remember from the D'Aulaires. (Well, and Homer. I have read the Odyssey.)
What should I read?
