(Meet Medusa, the Minotaur, and eleven more mythological m...)
Meet Medusa, the Minotaur, and eleven more mythological monsters of ancient Greece - artfully portrayed in striking collages, followed by a glossary of fun facts. What three-headed dog guards the gates to the underworld? Whose 100 eyes ended up on the tail of the peacock? Who turns into stone all who look upon her? With a minimum of text and a maximum of collage and arresting graphic design, Sara Fanelli lures the fantastical monsters of ancient Greece out of their lairs and lets them show off their power to fascinate. The spare, hand-lettered text will suit even reluctant readers, while a detailed glossary awaits those who are eager to know more monstrous facts. Here you will find (if you dare!): 100-eyed Argus one-eyed Cyclops nine-headed Hydra Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog Medusa the Gorgon Minotaur, half man, half bull Siren, half woman, half vulture Sphinx, half woman, half winged lion Centaur, half man, half horse Harpies, greedy women with birds’ heads sea monster Scylla fire-breathing Chimaera Echidna and her monstrous children
