Greco-Roman mythology is one of the most beloved works of classical literature worldwide. From ancient times to the present, across cultures and generations—men and women, young and old—have read or heard these tales, which frequently appear in films and television series as well. But why should we study Greco-Roman mythology? In truth, it is far more than mere fables; it encapsulates a wealth of wisdom and knowledge from our ancestors in the humanities, natural sciences, history, philosophy, art, and other fields, along with profound values that continue to resonate today.

This series differs from conventional chronologically organized retellings of Greco-Roman myths by structuring its narratives around individual characters. It offers a multifaceted portrayal of each protagonist, focusing on their childhood experiences and their journeys through adversity, drawing readers into a vivid, coming-of-age story that evokes deep emotional engagement. Moreover, the vibrant illustrations on every page provide a gallery-like visual feast, enhancing both the depth and impact of the narrative.

The first protagonist in this series is Zeus, king of the gods. As the supreme deity who rules over all creation, he stands at the head of Olympus’s Twelve Great Gods. Armed with thunder and lightning, Zeus maintains order between heaven and earth, with the bull and the eagle serving as his symbols. Join us as we explore how young Zeus, abandoned alone on a desolate island, demonstrated remarkable leadership in the face of peril. Through this book, readers will also discover the exceptional qualities needed to thrive in today’s world.
