Descripción
George O'Connor's vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to life in the New York Times Bestselling series The Olympians. This fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson!
There's only one thing Zeus, the King of the Gods, is afraid of. It isn't the many-headed Hydra, or the towering Gigantes. It isn't his powerful, jealous brother Poseidon, the god of the seas. Monsters, gods, Titans-none of them make the mighty Zeus blink an eye. The only thing Zeus fears is his wife: Hera, Goddess of the air, the sky, and the heavens, patroness of the cunning Jason, and scourge of the mighty Heracles. Hera rivals Zeus in power-and surpasses him in wrath.Author: George O'Connor
