The Heroes

In this collection, Kingsley retells the undying stories of three of ancient Greek mythology's most famous heroes: Perseus, the slayer of Medusa; the adventurous mighty Heracles and his twelve labors; and Theseus, who defeated the Minotaur.

Kingsley interlaces his narrative in a most simple and colorful way; all classic myths retold here, to make their characters as understandable to young readers as possible, their epic proportion and moral lessons retained. Through these stories, young readers learn of courage, honor, and the never-ending struggle between good and evil against a colorful, evoked backdrop of the ancient world.

From adventure to danger and triumph, The Heroes is filled with stories to take readers on an enjoyable ride across the tapestry of Greek mythology. Full of inspiration and instruction, Kingsley's work remains an ideal introduction to classical mythology for readers of all ages
