Download Perseus and Medusa Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Greek myths are filled with prophecies, schemes, and grand adventures. When an oracle told Acrisius, the king of Argos, that his grandson Perseus would one day kill him, Acrisius forced his daughter Danaë and her baby, Perseus, out of his kingdom. Acrisius did not know just how special his grandson was, though. Nor did he think of the fact that no human being can change his destiny or thwart fate. Perseus overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including slaying snake-haired Medusa, to earn his place among the Greek heroes. Readers will enjoy finding out more about ancient Greek culture and mythology through the rich illustrations and exciting story.

Download Perseus: Or, Of Dragons Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Forget the classic clash with Medusa! "Perseus: Or, Of Dragons" (1925) by H. F. Scott Stokes delves deeper. This unique book explores the myth of Perseus as a springboard to explore dragons across cultures, from fire-breathing beasts of Greek legend to symbolic figures in medieval Europe. Stokes dissects how these mythical creatures evolved in storytelling. He then ventures beyond myth, suggesting potential roots in Egyptian beliefs and arguing that dragons represent humanity's own destructive tendencies. Buckle up for a journey where slaying the dragon might mean slaying our own societal ills.
