Factology: Greek Myths is a fun-filled, fact-packed book featuring all the fantastic tales of gods, goddesses, monsters and the heroes who shaped the world and the lives of mortals.

Go back to a time when the Greek gods ruled the world and when the bravest heroes fought the deadliest monsters! Considered as some of the oldest and most famous stories ever told, this great introduction to Greek mythology will allow you to travel to the top of Mount Olympus, the tallest mountain in Greece which served as the residence for the gods; meet the VIP gang, Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo and their scheming friends; then venture deep down to the Underworld and encounter on your way the greatest monster-slayers and fantastical beasts.

Filled with action, drama, romance – and the craziest creatures, you’ll re-live some of the best historical epics of all time that will fascinate and engage children’s imaginations.

Each volume in the Factology series provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining.

The KS2 and KS3 school curriculum is consulted when devising each volume, to ensure that the books cover important educational topics, making them a perfect teaching aid for learning history and STEM subjects.
