Description:

The Rise of Zeus
At the dawn of time, gods and monsters wage an epic battle to rule the world. Cruel King Cronus is determined to keep his position as top god, but a prophesy says he will be overthrown by his own son. What will happen when baby Zeus is born?

Prometheus and Pandora
The mortal men Prometheus has created are cold, so he decides to carry out the biggest heist of them all-stealing fire from the gods. In revenge, Zeus creates the first woman, Pandora. But things don't turn out quite the way he expects ...

Perseus and Medusa
Countless heroes have met their doom at the gaze of monstrous Medusa. Anyone who looks at her turns to stone! Perseus is not a warrior, but he has vowed to defeat Medusa within a week. His only chance is to persuade the goddess Athena to help him ...

Atalanta's Race
Atalanta is as strong and brave as a bear-and she's determined to be a warrior! However, the boring men in her life have other plans. When her dad tries to push her into marriage, she agrees on one condition. First, someone must beat her in a race! Is Atalanta fast enough to outrun her fate?

Pegasus, The Winged Horse
Brave Prince Bellerophon has caused a terrible accident-and now he wants to make amends! To do so, he must slay the bizarre beast known as the Chimera. But before racing into battle, he'll need to find a horse with wings. That might be easier said than done!

The Trials of Psyche
Anyone shot by one of Eros's arrows will fall in love with the next creature they see. Eros thinks this is a great joke-until he falls in love himself! Psyche, his beloved, is smart and brave, but Eros' mother Aphrodite hates her with a passion. Can true love triumph?

The Minotaur
The son of King Minos is a real monster. He has the head of a bull and a taste for human flesh-no wonder he's been locked in a labyrinth! Heroic Theseus wants to end the Minotaur's reign of terror. To do so, he'll have to venture deep into the maze-and find his way out again!

Pelops the Charioteer
Pelops is handsome, brave, and an excellent charioteer. This is lucky, because he has fallen in love with Hippodamia ... and to win her hand he must take part in a deadly chariot race with her father. Harness up the horses, because this is one race you won't want to miss!

The Trojan Horse
Two armies face each other across a battlefield. The Greek soldiers are the greatest heroes of the age-but Troy is well-defended and its warriors are just as brave. The conflict rages for years ... until Odysseus has a sneaky idea about how to end the war.

The Odyssey
The Trojan War is over, and legendary hero Odysseus is looking forward to getting home. Little does he realize that the return journey will be his greatest adventure yet! He'll have to take on sea monsters, giants, and an evil enchantress ... but the biggest challenge of all is waiting for him at home!

The Legend of Heracles
Brave hero Heracles must complete a series of tasks, each more daunting than the last. Can he kill a monstrous lion and defeat the nine-headed Hydra? Heracles will need all his courage and wits to win the day!

King Midas
When King Midas is granted a wish, he demands that everything he touches turns to gold. He will be the richest man in the world! However, greedy Midas soon discovers that wishes can go badly wrong-and some things are worth more than any treasure!

Cadmus the Dragon-Slayer
Cadmus is on a quest to find his missing sister, Europa. But he doesn't feel like a hero. He's not brave or smart-and he's had to bring his mother on the journey, too! How will Cadmus cope when he has to face a terrifying, man-eating dragon?

Jason and the Golden Fleece
Jason is the rightful ruler of Iolcus, but to prove it he's going to need his wits about him. Only the greatest hero in the land could steal the precious golden fleece-and make it back alive. Is Jason that hero?

Persephone and the Underworld
Take a trip with Charon the ferryman to discover four magical stories about the Underworld. Find out why Persephone plays a trick to stay and how Sisyphus plays a trick to leave-and how to make friends with a three-headed dog.

Arachne's Strange Tales
Arachne is good at weaving-so good, in fact, that jealous goddess Athena decides to teach her a lesson! The five twisted tales in this book show what happens when mortal creatures cross paths with the gods ... and come away entirely changed.
