"Greek myths have withstood the passing of time. Even today, they captivate readers of all ages because of their ability to portray the human spirit in settings that appeal to our wildest flights of fancy. Ana María Shua masterfully relates a selection of them: the creation of the universe, the birth of the Olympian Gods, and the adventures of brave heroes such as Heracles, Theseus, and Odysseus--who fight against unspeakable monsters."
