The contributors to this superb fourteen short story collection consist of a who's who of speculative fiction. The tales can easily be classified as fantasy (with a mythological feel), or historical with little or no fantasist elements. Personally this reviewer found the fantasy shorts more intriguing, though the historical ones like that scribed by Judith Tarr, are superbly written. Each contribution is original and creative, and also includes one of the last, if not the final work by the legendary Poul Anderson, who brings a wisp of sci fi to his entry. Fans of Homer, the mythos, or strong fantasy, will appreciate this terrific compilation, in which everyday people encounter the Gods and species like centaurs in the era of Odysseus and Achilles.
