Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes by Rick Riordan

Product Details

About the Book

Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes is Rick Riordan's bestselling companion volume to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, this time turning the demigod narrator's irreverent attention to the legendary mortal heroes of Greek mythology. As Percy himself puts it: "We're going back about four thousand years to decapitate monsters, save some kingdoms, shoot a few gods in the butt, raid the Underworld, and steal loot from evil people. Then, for dessert, we'll die painful, tragic deaths."

Across twelve chapters, Percy — son of Poseidon — recounts the daring, often disastrously tragic deeds of some of mythology's most iconic figures, answering the questions every reader wants to know: who cut off Medusa's head, who was raised by a she-bear, and who tamed Pegasus? Readers meet Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, Hercules and his twelve labors, the brilliant but troubled inventor Daedalus, the musician Orpheus and his tragic journey into the Underworld, Theseus and the Minotaur's labyrinth, and more, all filtered through Percy's signature "old-school hard-luck cases" framing and modern, wisecracking humor. Enhanced with vibrant artwork throughout by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, the book brings fresh, laugh-out-loud energy to some of the darkest and most dramatic stories in the Greek mythological canon.
