'Golden Porch' Summary
This book is a captivating journey exploring the uncharted realms of ancient Greek storytelling. Following a unique perspective, it unveils hidden gems often overlooked in children's narratives. Drawing inspiration from the timeless Odes of Pindar instead of the usual myths, it presents renowned sagas such as Jason's epic and the enchanting birth of Castor and Pollux, but also lesser-known tales as told by one of the greatest of the Greek Poets of the Classic age, here retold by an avid classicist with a special affinity to Greek Mythology.Book Details
