A Look-It-Up Guide to the In-laws, Outlaws, and Offspring of Mythology
This is one of four books in the Mythlopedia series. You think you know Greek mythology? Family life around Mount Olympus was a real odyssey. Heroes went to war and got lost coming home, a king traded his golden touch for a pair of donkey ears, and everybody wanted to be a star. It was enough to give a mortal a complex! Here’s an excerpt from the book:
Cybele’s Revenge: Atalanta and Melanion offend a goddess. Atalanta and Melanion were very much in love. Maybe a little too much in love. When the goddess Cybele caught the pair cuddling in her temple, she blew a fuse! To punish the couple, she turned them into lions. Then, to add insult to injury, she yoked the pair of lions to her chariot.”
