Bellerophon: Book 8- Early Myths: Kids Books on Greek Myth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781695603059)

Bellerophon is the story of a young hero who befriends the winged horse Pegasus, takes on the ferocious beast, the Chimera, defeats armies and returns victorious, much to the surprise of his host, King Iobates. But his tale does not end there and you can learn about his glorious highs and dangerous lows through our new Greek myth picture book for kids.

For teachers and parents, we have a notes section at the back, describing how our illustrations have been inspired by ancient Greek vase-painting, sculptures, and early literature. The kids don't need to know this aspect to enjoy the tale, but the grown-ups can learn about how we have taken time and care to construct our book, using the early historical sources, rather than simply repeat a generic version of the myth.
