市面上的古希腊神话书多为合集,单个故事来说着墨就不多。这份单子里的书基本上各个故事的单行本,配以丰富的画面,能给年龄小的孩子留下深刻印象。
单子里面基本上都是picture books,但语言都不错,我个人认为二年级及以下都适合。另外末尾几本标明页码的,都属于“长篇巨制”的图画书,年龄 较大的孩子也可以可读。
There's a Monster in the Alphabet By James Rumford 希腊神话字母书
Persephone by Sally Pmme Clayton and Virginia Lee 被冥神劫掠,成为冥后的Persephone
The Hero and the Minotaur by Robert Byrd 英雄Theseus在迷宫战胜牛头人身怪
Orpheus and Eurydice By Sybil Schonfeldt and Iassen Ghiuselev 竖琴王子因爱恋一回头,再也无法挽救进入冥界的妻子。画风偏于苍白幽冥。
Cupid and Psyche by K.Y.Craft 普绪克苦苦追寻自己的恋人朱庇得。 画风华美无限。
Pegasus by K.Y.Craft 英雄Bellerophon借助天马杀死怪物,赢得美人归。画风华美无限。
Atalanta's race : a Greek myth by Climo, Shirley. 跑得最快的女神Atalanta 画风轻盈风趣 。
Pandora by Robert, Burleigh, 笔法细腻,格调沉静庄严
Hercules by Robert, Burleigh, 笔法细腻,格调沉静庄严
The trojan horse by Albert Lorenz 多格漫画风格
Medusa by Deborah Nourse,Lattimore 渲染力极强的画面,不过,也因此有一点点让人反胃
King Midas & the golden touch by Eric Metaxas 这个故事通常不算在古希腊神话里,但我也硬拉进来了。著名的寓言故事。
King Midas and the Golden Touch by Charlotte Craft and Kinuko Y. Craft 画风华美无限
Odysseus and the Cyclops by Warwich Hutton 奥德赛从独眼巨人口下逃生。画得一般,但故事太有吸引力。
Theseus and the Minotaur by Warwich Hutton 英雄Theseus在迷宫战胜牛头人身怪,画面不如Byrd那本情节丰富
