Description
Set sail for adventure with these stormy Greek legends
Jason's uncle Pelias has seized the throne of Argos. Before Jason can take his rightful place there, he must retrieve a magical item: the Golden Fleece. To capture this treasure, he gathers a ship full of Greek war heroes. But as they set off for the fleece, many dangers lie ahead.
Odysseus, captain of the Greek army, has won a decade-long war. Now he faces his greatest trial: leading his men home. His journey will feature threats from the monstrous Cyclops to the irresistible song of the siren to the wrath of the sea god Poseidon. Will his men die in ocean waters, or will Odysseus guide them back?
