Gods and Goddesses of Olympus / Aliki
Simple, heavily illustrated history of Greek gods and goddesses. The book begins with the Greek story of creation, then continues with a "who's who" of each character, revealing their personalities, background, and "duties". Very well done with an appropriate fairy-tale-like flavor.
The awesome Olympians of Greek mythology come to life as Aliki skillfully weaves many of the tales that have fascinated children for generations.
Long, long ago in ancient Greece, people began telling wonderful stories to explain the mysteries of life. These myths featured gods and goddesses, mighty beings who look human but have amazing powers and live forever. Now you can meet these extraordinary characters and hear their legends, brought to life again by Aliki in this splendid, panoramic look at the amazing stories and characters of Greek legend.
In these pages you will meet the great immortals: Zeus, the powerful king of the gods, and Hera, his beautiful but jealous wife. You will meet Athena, who sprung from Zeus's head fully grown, and the lovely Aphrodite, who rose out of the sea on a cushion of foam. You will hear the story of the fierce battle fought to earn them their golden thrones.
