    Bring Greek myths to life in this beautifully illustrated collection for independent readers.

    Delve deep into the mythology of ancient Greece in this stunning compendium of tales. From the heros of Athens and Sparta to gods and goddesses, take a magical illustrated journey through the Mediterranean. You'll learn about the places where each story took place, and why myths matter.

    From Zeus's and the incredible Labours of Heracles, the duel of Perseus and Medusa and the infamous trojan horse explore this enchanting and complex world through beautiful storytelling by expert Marchella Ward, and breathtaking artwork from Sander Berg.
    "Skillfully weaving in various Greek myths alongside lessons proffered by Night Owl to his grandson, Little Owl, this book seamlessly connects several of those classic stories in an
    engaging, almost breathless fashion. [...] Even though these are old stories, the lessons Little Owl learns about arrogance, keeping promises, and challenging injustice lend a fresh, contemporary spin to these timeless myths. The colorful, striking artwork perfectly complements the well- considered versions of these classic tales."
