His mother was a human princess. His father was none other than Zeus, the king of the gods. But fate has a way of twisting things, and now to save his mother from a dreadful marriage Perseus must undertake a perilous quest. Along the way the young hero will encounter a wealth of wonders, including a magic helmet, a flying horse, a dreadful sea serpent, and a gorgon whose gaze turns all who look upon her to stone. He will also discover that beyond the schemes of treacherous humans and interference of jealous gods lies another matter, that of fate itself, and the question of whether any man can escape his destiny.

With her trademark grace and wit, Geraldine McCaughrean has re-imagined and illuminated one of the greatest adventure stories of all time, bringing this ancient tale to vivid life for a new generation.

Well done. I'd listen to this production company do any Greek or Norse tale.

Enjoying these audio versions of Greek mythology!

This is my favorite book by Geraldine I have come across yet. I really enjoyed the story of Perseus and how he fights Medusa, whereas Hercules is extremely strong I found that Perseus is just well connected. The gods lavishly gift him with many weapons to help him pull off his mission. The story about his mother and Zeus, how she and her son end up with the fisherman and then the greedy king, it was all acted out so well. The ending was satisfying and all the loose ends were wrapped up.

A full cast brings to life the story of Perseus.
