Summary:

"Behold 20 brand-new, hilarious adaptations of classic tales from Greek mythology, written by the dynamic duo behind the smash hit podcast Greeking Out! Want to know the greatest feats and strangest secrets of the Olympians and other gods, goddesses, and heroes of Greek mythology? You're in the right place! Told in the same fresh, tongue-in-cheek voice that's made National Geographic Kids Greeking Out a #1 kids and family podcast, these stories of heroic victories, perilous adventures, and plain old mischief are sure to delight. In this book you'll encounter a god kidnapped by pirates, sheep used as camouflage, a super-shiny fleece, some dangerous metalworking, the world's most perfect animal, a really heavy boulder, and much more. Dynamic, playful illustrations coupled with laugh-out-loud storytelling and fascinating nuggets of nonfiction information about ancient Greece--delivered by the fan-favorite Oracle of Wi-Fi--make this collection of fabulous fables the perfect fit for any curious reader who loves a great story."-- Back cover.
