    Default Advice for a present (Greek literature)

    It's my sisters birthday soon, and I've been looking for a present. She's always been interested in Greek myths and enjoyed translating Greek plays at school, but isn't going to do any further studying on the subject. So what I'm looking for is a good book (or two cheaper ones) on these subjects; preferably mainly myths in story form or translated plays, but with sections giving some background info on the texts. Two books I encountered on Amazon (Classical Tragedy and Myths of the Ancient Greeks) look decent and not too scholarly or simple, but I'll readily confess this is outside my area of expertise. Anyone here able to enlighten me?
