About this item

In print for over fifty years, D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths has introduced generations to Greek mythology - and continues to enthrall young readers. Here are the greats of ancient Greece - gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters - as freshly described in words and pictures as if they were alive today:* Powerful Zeus, king of the gods, with his fistful of thunderbolts* Hermes, mischievous trickster and messenger of the gods* Gray-eyed Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy* The monstrous Minotaur, slain by brave Theseus* Snake-haired Medusa the gorgon, turning enemies to stone with her steely stare* Hercules the mightiest, part mortal, part god These and other equally magnificent figures parade across the pages, their heroic deeds and petty squabbles illuminated in full dimension.
