I've been hooked on crossword puzzles as of late and I encounter quite a few clues relating to Greek Mythology. It was never covered in my schooling and I'd love to learn more. Maybe an introduction or overview-style book. Or if there are any great books concerning a particular god or event. Thanks!

The Percy Jackson books are pretty faithful to most of Greek mythology in their storytelling, granted he takes a few liberties here and there but most of it is accurate.
Mythology by Edith Hamilton is a good place to start, and possibly end.
You should read The Iliad by Homer
By far this book:
Mythos

I did the audiobook from Libby. Its free with a library card. All his work is fabulous.
Honestly? D’Aulaire’s Greek Myths. It was one of my favorite books as a child and is a great basic intro to the Greek gods. After that, Mythology by Edith Hamilton.
