Product Description
by Billy Wellman (Author)
Did you know that Zeus was considered to be both the youngest and the oldest brother?
Thanks to their enthralling narratives and relatable characters, Greek myths have captured our imagination for millennia. Despite being thousands of years old, these tales still manage to touch on something in the core of our souls, connecting humans from across all time periods and all stages of life. That is because myths speak to raw truths that are felt and observed by us all, and to study them is to study that which shapes our world and that which makes us human.
This book is divided into six chapters and explores the most famous narrative of four famous heroes of Greek mythology. While it is impossible to gather all the most important Greek myths in their entirety in one short collection, this book provides the interested reader with a nice, if somewhat modest, assortment of narratives that have greatly influenced our culture to this day.
Some of the myths you'll discover by reading this book are:
- The rise of the Olympians
- Theseus's epic fight against the Minotaur
- Perseus beheading the Gorgon Medusa
- Jason and Medea's murderous affair
- The bloody curse of the House of Atreus
- And so much more!
