Claudia Martin (Author), Mark Meadows (Narrator)

Pegasus, the Winged Horse

The Trials of Psyche

"The son of King Minos is a real monster. He has the head of a bull and a taste for human flesh-no wonder he's been locked in a labyrinth! Heroic Theseus wants to end the Minotaur's reign of terror. To do so, he'll have to venture deep into the maze-and find his way out again!"
Pelops the Charioteer
"Pelops is handsome, brave, and an excellent charioteer. This is lucky, because he has fallen in love with Hippodamia ... and to win her hand he must take part in a deadly chariot race with her father. Harness up the horses, because this is one race you won't want to miss!"
"Two armies face each other across a battlefield. The Greek soldiers are the greatest heroes of the age-but Troy is well-defended and its warriors are just as brave. The conflict rages for years ... until Odysseus has a sneaky idea about how to end the war."
"The Trojan War is over, and legendary hero Odysseus is looking forward to getting home. Little does he realize that the return journey will be his greatest adventure yet! He'll have to take on sea monsters, giants, and an evil enchantress ... but the biggest challenge of all is waiting for him at home!"
The Legend of Heracles
"Brave hero Heracles must complete a series of tasks, each more daunting than the last. Can he kill a monstrous lion and defeat the nine-headed Hydra? Heracles will need all his courage and wits to win the day!"
"When King Midas is granted a wish, he demands that everything he touches turns to gold. He will be the richest man in the world! However, greedy Midas soon discovers that wishes can go badly wrong-and some things are worth more than any treasure!"
Cadmus the Dragon-Slayer
"Cadmus is on a quest to find his missing sister, Europa. But he doesn't feel like a hero. He's not brave or smart-and he's had to bring his mother on the journey, too! How will Cadmus cope when he has to face a terrifying, man-eating dragon?"
Jason and the Golden Fleece
