Greek Myths: Meet the Heroes, Gods, and Monsters of Ancient Greece
About this audiobook
This collection contains more than 30 enthralling new retellings of favourite myths as well as some you might not have heard before!
Including Theseus and the Minotaur, The Twelve 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.
Additional feature pages delve deeper into the mythical world, providing profiles of the gods. The reference section provides key background information, such as Ancient Greek storytelling and the incredible beasts of the myths, and a pronunciation guide.
Children will love exploring the tales by themselves or as bedtime stories.
