Intro:
Here are the gods, goddesses, and legendary figures of ancient Greece–mighty Zeus, with his fistful of thunderbolts, gray-eyed Athena, goddess of wisdom, Helios, the sun, greedy King Midas–lavishly depicted by Caldecott winners Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire. In a relaxed and humorous tone, these splendid artists bring to life the myths that have inspired great European literature and art through the ages, creating a book readers of all ages will cherish.
