Hades Speaks! - 9781620915981

The second book in the “Secrets of the Ancient Gods” series takes young readers to the ancient Greek underworld, where Hades, god of the dead, offers a personal tour of his dark realm. Sites include the River Styx, where Charon ferries the souls of the recently deceased; Tartaros, where Cyclopes dwell and Titans are locked in the belly of the earth; and Elysian Fields, eternal home of Greek heroes. Along the way, Hades introduces readers to monsters and demons, such as Cerebus, the multi-headed dog and Empusa, the blood-drinking demigod. He also reveals Greek burial rites, rituals, magic spells, and curses, all before readers return home through the Gates of Sleep. Once again, the author offers a fresh, delightfully macabre, first-person approach to nonfiction, as well as a lively introduction to Greek mythology. Includes a glossary and index.
