Percy Jackson's Greek Myths

Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson puts his own irreverent spin on twelve legendary Greek heroes, recounting the daring quests, impossible trials, and complicated choices of figures such as Perseus, Psyche, Atalanta, Hercules, Orpheus, and Jason. From monster-slaying adventures and Underworld journeys to victories shadowed by difficult consequences, these classic myths reveal that even the greatest heroes are flawed, unpredictable, and profoundly human. With its fast-paced storytelling, sharp humor, and modern perspective, the collection makes ancient mythology accessible while exploring courage, resilience, ambition, identity, and the price of heroism. Vibrant illustrations further enrich this lively introduction to the enduring stories of Greek legend.
