Synopsis
Who cut off Medusa's head? Who was raised by a she-bear? Who tamed Pegasus? It takes a demigod to know, and Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, follows Percy Jackson's Greek Gods (2014) by telling the daring deeds of twelve of the major heroes of Greek myth: Perseus, Psyche, Phaethon, Otrera, Daedalus, Theseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, Cyrene, Orpheus, Hercules and Jason. In Percy's funny, irreverent style, the heroes are the original old-school hard-luck cases, and the stories run from decapitating monsters and saving kingdoms to raiding the Underworld and stealing loot from evil people, usually ending in painful, tragic deaths. Illustrated by the Caldecott honoree John Rocco.
