Perseus and Medusa (Mythology)

The kids loved it.

It has a lot to give and it can teach you some Greek myology so yeah like light yeah yeah

This is a fairly faithful retelling of the myths around Greek hero Perseus. A prophecy said that he would cause the death of his grandfather, King Acrisius of Argos. Naturally the king isn't happy about that and sends his daughter and grandson out to sea locked in a chest. They are found and freed by some fishermen who take them in. Perseus has various adventures on the journey that takes him back to Argos where he accidentally kills his grandfather. The main adventure is killing Medusa and taking her head, though he also rescues Ethiopian princess Andromeda from a sea monster and then weds her.The story is entertaining and well told though it was a bit too scary for Lucy, who is only 4 years old. Also, some bits might require explanation, like why the king is banishing them so cruelly. The book has discussion questions, writing prompts, and other resources for school-aged children. It seems aimed at 4th to 8th graders.

Great content and graphics from the creators. My kid loves the story. Too bad binding is cr*p. Pages fell out in 3 days. Same with the other graphic novels in the series.

Literally used twice in my classroom and they are already falling apart! I siding expect them to last for years, but come on!

A beautifully illustrated version of a classic Greek Myth, suitable for both adults and children. The comic book style is eye catching and makes the story easy to follow.

Great artwork. Very well put together.Really enjoyed this book and helped greatly in my unit of Greek mythology - kids loved it
