Thousands of years ago, when monsters roamed the earth and magic rules the world, the Greeks set sail among the islands of the Aegean Sea in search of incredible riches and fantastic adventures...adventures that would become legendary.

The Gorgons: cruel witches with snakes for hair.

Midas: everything he touched turned to gold...even people.

Hercules: the greatest hero of all time.

Chimaera: part lion, part goat, part snake--but all monster!

Pegasus: the magical flying horse.

These are only a few of the fabulous heroes and monsters in the collection of classic Greek adventures retold especially for young people by one of the world's greatest authors.
