Greek Myths
Sarah Young, Ann Turnbull
A gorgeous collection of classic Greek myths welcomes readers of all ages into a legendary world of beauty, tragedy, and miracle.(Ages 11 & Up)Enter a world where anything is possible. A god might be a mountain or a shower of gold. A nymph may be a stream or an echo in the wind. The myths of ancient Greece are full of such wonders, as well as a host of courageous heroes, cunning heroines, and terrible monsters. Ann Turnbull’s compelling prose enlivens sixteen of the most celebrated myths, from the sadness of Persephone to the ill-fated love of Orpheus and Eurydice, from Pandora’s unlucky curiosity to the greed of King Midas to many more age-old tales filled with drama and romance. In vivid, expressive detail, Sarah Young’s fine-art illustrations bring this golden world to life, capturing creatures from Cerberus, the threeheaded dog, to the sinister snake-haired Medusa.

Would you rather be friends with gods or with mortals? Would you prefer Pan or Apollo? You can find out by reading Greek Myths. The Greeks believed in gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Artemis and Demeter. They believed in heroes such as Theseus and Perseus, and Titans such as Atlas and Prometheus. There were foolish kings, such as King Midas, powerful kings such as King Minos, and monsters such as the great minotaur and Medusa. In Greek mythology, there are stories of the gods, heros and creatures. Everyone faced a problem.
