Medusa. Hercules. Everyone knows the names. Almost nobody knows the actual stories — and the real ones are darker, stranger and far more human than the versions that reached us through films and school textbooks.\nGreek Mythology 101 gives you the complete foundation in one focused, fast-moving book. No jargon. No prerequisites. Just the myths that built Western civilisation, told the way they were meant to be told: as gripping stories. Inside you will discover: The truth about Medusa — she was not born a monster. She was made into one, and the reason is far darker than the retellings admit Zeus and the ten-year war against the Titans — the cosmic conflict that decided who would rule reality itself The Twelve Labours of Hercules — including the strategy that finally killed the “unkillable” Hydra Orpheus and Eurydice — one backward glance, and everything lost. The most heartbreaking moment in all mythology The Trojan Horse — how Odysseus ended a ten-year war in a single night Why the gods behave so badly — and how that revolutionary idea changed religion forever The monsters in full — Cerberus, the Sirens, the Chimera and the Minotaur, uncensored Medea’s revenge — devoted sorceress to ruthless avenger, and the moment she crosses the line\nWritten with the pace of a thriller and grounded in real historical research. Short, self-contained chapters mean you can read a single myth over coffee, or lose an entire afternoon to the pantheon.\nPerfect for readers new to mythology, history enthusiasts, students, and anyone who wants to finally understand every mythological reference they have ever encountered. It also makes a striking gift — the hardcover edition is built to sit on a shelf for decades.\nPart of the Myth Magic series: Greek, Norse, Egyptian and Celtic Mythology 101, plus the complete World Mythology 101 four-book collection.\nScroll up and begin your journey to Mount Olympus.\nA free companion audiobook is included — details inside the book.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DNCP45C8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DNCP45C8.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bard, Phoenix\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
