I did an entire review over quite a few videos on my YouTube channel, but I figured I should write something here too.
Overall, this is a fantastic supplement. My focus was on the subclasses and, while I found a few issues with some abilities and features initially, the vast majority of those issues were fixed with the 1.1 update. Well balanced and interesting to play, each one allows you to play their respective classes in a unique way that will really make your character feel epic and special. The backgrounds are detailed and gripping, giving you the ability to really root your character in the world of greek myth and legends. The new monster stat blocks give you examples of how these new subclasses could exist in your world outside the player's party and are steeped in lore from ancient times, adding that heoric flavor to your campaign that will help the players get lost in it. The list of names is very useful if, like me, you sometimes need a name on the fly for that one NPC your players decided they just HAD to know more about. The new magic items are a nice blend of mythic-themed weapons and armor and some novel wonderous items to add that heoric spice to your games.
Overall, I can't tell you how much I loved this supplement. Definitely worth the price and a great addition to any D&D library.
