Monsters in Myth
The ancient Greeks believed monsters lurked on land, underwater, in the sky, and below Earthâ€™s surface in the Underworld. Many tales tell of the Greek heroes who faced them. But who are these creatures that enabled Hercules, Odysseus, and others to become so great? In this series, explore each monster in depth, including the origins and meanings of the creature, and see artistsâ€™ renditions of them from ancient times through modern popular culture. These books supplement upper elementary and middle school studies and literature classes that feature mythology and ancient world history.
