How good is this if I want to get more acquainted with Greek and only Greek mythology?

Also is Hesiod worth reading for the literary value at all?

I love the Theogony, read it (Works and Days, not so much.)

Apollodorus is famous for being dry as fuck. I just learned a shitload of myths from Homer, Hesiod, the Greek tragedians, Pindar; but most importantly, the best and most magnificent lore dump in Antiquity: Ovid's Metamorphoses
