The book relates six of the best known Greek myths with episodes which have been particularly well visualised by modern writers. The episodes are linked by short passages so that the myth can be read as a continuous story. At the end of each myth are suggestions for activities following on from the story: writing, drawing, acting, finding out, and further reading.
