Here are the Greek myths as you've never heard them before. Susan is whisked back through time to Ancient Greece, & finds that helping Hercules clean the Augean stables is much, much worse than tidying her room. One hair-raising experience follows another as she goes down into the Underworld with Orpheus, just misses being turned to stone by Medusa, & rides on the winged horse Pegasus. This is both a fabulously funny story & a brilliant way to introduce children to eight of the best-known Greek myths. Susan meddles in each of the myths
- taking a dim view of the gods & goddesses & heroes she encounters
- but gets out in the nick of time, so the myths themselves remain unchanged & will be remembered vividly by their readers. Read by Mark Perry.
