If you love reading books based on myths (think Percy Jackson), try Kate McMullan’s new series Myth-O-Mania.
What a myth-o-maniac (that's old Greek-speak for "liar")! Zeus's version of the myths is completely wrong. It's time to set the record straight. For the first time ever, Hades, King of the Underworld, reveals the true story behind the myths. “How do I know the truth? Well, I was there for most of it. And you can always trust me, Hades, King of the Underworld, to tell you what really happened.”
Nice Shot, Cupid!
The love story of Cupid and Psyche is a popular myth. Too bad it’s all wrong! For one thing, Cupid wasn’t a handsome Greek deity. The truth is, when Cupid first met Psyche, he was an awkward teen god, complete with braces and pimples. And he was a total momma’s boy! Don’t even get me started on his mother, Aphrodite.
Maybe you’ve heard the story of Atalanta. How she lost a race because she couldn’t resist some silly golden apples? Not true! She could have won that race blindfolded –no matter what Melanion threw in her path. No man could outsmart a Daughter of Artemis! As usual, Zeus has this story so turned around that the truth is all but invisible.
