O MUSES Who sing of a World Long Gone, Of Mighty Heroes, Olympian Gods, Of Terrible Monsters and Fabulous Beasts, Help Me to Tell of these Wonderful Things, For I Have Come to the Land of Greece To Speak of Her Myths and Her Mystery

~~ Lady Hestia Evans, Athens, 1825

Written by Lady Hestia Evans in 1825, Mythology is based on the record of her travels through Greece, where she discovers the wonders of the ancient myths: the tales of mighty gods and fearless heroes who battle the merciless beasts of legend.

It is only when Ladia Hestia's friend John Oro uses her book as a guide for his own trip to Greece, annotating as he travels, that you begin to realise that the true power of these immortal gods might not be constrained to the past . . .

With his insatiable appetite for the fascinating antiquities he discovers, can John control his greed, or will he suffer the wrath of a vengeful ancient god?

Here the Ology series ventures further back in history than ever before, to the time of gods and monsters, myths and legends, to produce a Pandora's Box of information, excitement and intrigue.

Prepare to be spellbound and have your imagination transported to another time in history.
