This book is a piece dorfèvrerie.
If like me you are fascinated and passionate about Greek myths, here forget any notion of suspense. Yet Maurice Druon managed to totally fascinate me and I hurt every night to rest this book.
The Greek gods, already quite close to us, here are even more fragile, more human and more real. The book is full of anecdotes that will make you laugh or tears to the eyes.
As for style, it is very strong and sometimes a little outdated. If this could put off some, I found that it gave its charm and its severity to Zeus.
