Including 'Theseus and the Minotaur', 'The 12 Labours of Herakles', and the escapades of 'Jason and the Argonauts', each myth is told in engaging modern language, which is easy for children to understand yet still retains the humour and intrigue of the original tales.

The reference section provides key background information, such as Ancient Greek storytelling and the incredible beasts of the myths, and a handy pronunciation guide. Greek Myths is the perfect gift, featuring stunning gold foil on the cover and beautiful illustrations throughout. Quench your child's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, as they explore the enthralling tales, whether by themselves or to equally be enjoyed as bedtime stories alongside parents.
