From Hercules' snake assassin slippers to Arachne's wicked weaver rap songs, these are the mythic monsters and Hellenic heroes that have captured Western culture for centuries--but a whole lot more fun. Kids won't be able to resist the bickering sheep, unruly rulers, and undercover details of Amazing Greek Myths--while teachers, librarians, and parents can relish this new way to share moral messages that remain as relevant today as they were a thousand years ago.

Warning: These aren't your parents' Greek Myths! Ancient Greece was a world of valiant heroes, nasty monsters, and people in need of heroes because of nasty monsters. It was a world full of fabulous, now famous, stories--full of gods and mortals doing wonderous and blunderful things. From Pandora's creepy box to Medusa's crazy hair, these pages recount the classic tales ... but make them a lot more fun. Hercules wears snake assassin slippers. Arachne sings wicked weaver raps, silly sheep bicker--and if you look closely, you'll find a wily toaster. So if you love swashbuckling, stories and laughing until your sides split, open this book! -- From back cover.
