Hello, Zeus speaking. I'm sitting on my throne way up on the Olymp, reading "The Twelve Olympians: Illustrated Greek Mythology" - and so should you! Well, not that I'll let you sit on my throne, but you can follow the adventures of me and my fellow gods and goddesses that are contained in these 14 illustrated stories. Romance, drama, bravery, despair - these tales have got it all covered for you. And while you're here, you'll also meet some of the mortal heroes of ancient Greece, such as Heracles, Helen of Troy, Perseus and Andromeda, or Achilles and Odysseus. All adventures stay true to the originals as recorded by my good friend Homer, so you'll be able to educate your peasant friends about the fact that I gave Pandora a jar, and not a box, to take to earth with her. Those kind of details tend to impress people. Well I'll go back to work now - I can hear Hera, Athena and Aphrodite arguing from here over some golden apple. Seems like even a god can never have a quiet moment for himself…. happy reading!
