The ancient Greeks believed in twelve gods, six men and six women, who lived on Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. From there, under the rule of the all-powerful Zeus, they governed the whole world and decided the fate of humankind. Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Artemis, Ares, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hermes and Hestia each had special powers that they used over the forces of nature, the land and the sea. Many myths tell of them, but one thing is clear: their adventures are amazing!
All the heroes and gods of Greek mythology feature in this beautifully illustrated book collection, filled with games, activities and historical facts to help children explore and understand the world of Ancient Greece.
