Olympians: Hera

Ages 10 to 14
Paperback

Synopsis

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.

Reviews

Praise for the Olympians series:

"O’Connor, a self-proclaimed Greek mythology obsessive, has done something wonderful: He’s turned the tales of those adventuresome, rascally, feuding, power-mad Greek gods into a nifty set of gorgeously drawn, well-researched graphic novels that kids go nuts for."—New York Times
