The audacious characters of Greek mythology have remained popular throughout the ages. This colorful and handy visual reference introduces to a new generation these ancient heroes and heroines, who used their cunning, beauty, and courage to overcome an array of obstacles and monsters.

Young readers will be amazed by the stories of Herakles and his twelve mighty labors; Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece; Perseus, who vanquished the Gorgon Medusa and saved Andromeda from the sea monster; Bellerophon, the rider of the winged horse Pegasus; Penelope's undying loyalty; and many others. Also here are the treacherous monsters (and perils) that these heroes and heroines faced: one-eyed giants, called Cyclopes; the alluring Sirens; the terrible half-man, half-bull called the Minotaur; and the evil witch Circe.

Each entry is illustrated with a color photograph of an ancient work of art showing the characters in action. An index helps readers easily find their favorite characters.

Ages twelve and up.

Saucony!
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Blue/Black
Saucony has saved me more times than I csn remember! The price point is always affordable and I’ve been buying this brand for our family …toddler through our adult sizes! These shoes usually last one year for an active child but that shows they wear them all the time. This style is adorable and our son was so proud to open the box and wear them. We’ve worn this style everywhere… fair 5ks, trail runs, bike rides, city shopping trips… and they always look great and are an easy Velcro shoe for a child.

Love Saucony
Size: 3 Wide Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 3 Wide Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
These sneakers are bright, comfortable, and surprisingly versatile, but they lean more fun and practical than trend-polished or premium. First Impressions & Design: The fuchsia color is the first thing you notice — bold, playful, and full of personality. It feels energetic rather than overly “girly,” which is probably why both my nephew and niece are drawn to them. The design has a sporty, modern look that works well for everyday wear. It feels like a real athletic shoe rather than just a colorful kids’ sneaker. Overall, they read fun, current, and kid-approved. Color & Style Appeal: This is a standout feature. Bright pink feels fresh and confident Appeals across personalities and styles A fun reminder that color trends always evolve (pink definitely having a comeback moment) It’s the kind of shoe kids want to wear, not one they’re convinced to wear. Fit & Sizing: The wide sizing is a major plus. Great option for wider feet More comfortable than standard narrow kids’ sneakers Gives toes room without looking oversized A helpful choice if finding comfortable kid shoes is usually a challenge. Comfort & Wearability: Comfort is strong for active kids. Lightweight enough for running and play Cushioned sole feels supportive Easy for all-day wear They’re built for movement, which matters more than looks alone. Support & Performance: These perform like a real sneaker. Good grip for playground or school use Stable sole for active movement Supportive enough for everyday wear They’re practical, not just cute. Durability: Saucony is a respected brand known for style and durability. These shoes are solid for kids’ use. Holds up well to regular activity Materials feel reliable Bright color may show dirt faster than darker shoes They’re made for actual wear, not just occasional outings. Quality: Quality is what you’d expect from a reputable athletic brand. Better structure than many fashion kids’ shoes Consistent construction Functional and dependable They feel built to last through normal kid use. Style & Versatility: These are more versatile than the color might suggest. Great with casual play clothes Fun statement shoe for simple outfits Works for kids who like bold colors regardless of gender The color makes them stand out, but the design keeps them wearable. Final Thoughts: These sneakers combine comfort, support, and standout style in a way kids clearly notice. The wide fit is a bonus, and the fuchsia color gives them personality without limiting who can wear them — which may explain why everyone wants a pair.
