Description In print for over fifty years, D’Aulaires Book of Greek Myths has introduced generations to Greek mythology—and continues to enthrall young readers. Here are the greats of ancient Greece—gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters—as freshly described in words and pictures as if they were alive today. I doubt I would have grown up to be the writer and artist I became had I not fallen in love with D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths at the age of seven. —R. J. Palacio, author of Wonder No other volume of Greek mythology has inspired as many young readers as this timeless classic. Both adults and children alike will find this book a treasure for years to come. For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book . . . the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain forever matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty observation. —The Horn Book Contents In Olden Times Gaea, Mother Earth The Titans ZEUS and his Family Hera Hephaestus Aphrodite Ares Athena Poseidon Apollo Artemis Hermes Hades Persephone and Demeter Dionysus MINOR GODS, Nymphs, Satyrs, and Centaurs Prometheus Pandora Deucalion Eos Helios and Phaëthon Selene Pan Echo Syrinx The Wild and Vulgar Centaurs Asclepius The Nine Muses Orpheus MORTAL DESCENDANTS
