You know I love you with all my heart.'Īrtemis: 'Do you love me enough to grant me a wish?'Īrtemis: 'Hm. Zeus: 'Artemis, what a question! Your know I do. Whether you love Greek Myth or not, give Mythos a try: this might just be the one to fall in love with it! This one really doesn't need a long review. Being a collection of independent stories, one cannot expect the book to have a perfect flow, but, for me, being able to laugh, page after page, made up for everything.
