Myths & Heroes #1 ZEUS: Lightning rod

#1 ZEUS: Lightning Rod

Read an excerpt here.

Enter a marvellous world filled with extraordinary characters. Where half-human, half-animal beings rub shoulders with demigods. Where your neighbour might have superhuman strength or the power to turn you to stone. This is the world of Timmy the Minotaur, Atlas, Aphrodite, Hercules and all the other heroes-in-training. Will they pass the test and join the great and mighty (and only slightly mad) Zeus atop Mount Olympus?

BRAINFOOD PUBLISHING is delighted to announce the release of the famous illustrated series from Bamboo Édition, France, “Les Petits Mythos”, in Greek and in English as “Myths and Heroes.” This amazing series features hardcover books with meticulous production and incredible full-colour illustrations.

It is a humorous children’s book series based on Greek mythology. The main characters are Timmy, the Minotaur, and Atlas, who will become a famous Titan when he grows up. Two mismatched yet inseparable friends who live in the shadow of Mount Olympus. They long to acquire the fame, glory, and powers of the gods of Olympus, but every attempt they make falls flat… They are clumsy but fearless, stumbling upon Zeus’ thunderbolts, Poseidon’s trident, Icarus’ wings, the jaws of the Lernaean Hydra, and yet, at the last moment, they manage to escape destruction!

Through their adventures, they will encounter all the gods and heroes of ancient Greek mythology, and through their trials and failures, they will introduce us to all the protagonists of Greek mythology.
