Poseidon (Kid's Guide to Mythology)

Greek mythology began as a way of explaining the world and all the incredible happenings within it. Why did the sun rise each morning and set each night? Who controlled the ocean and the tides? What made two people fall in love? In ancient Greece, humankind was still centuries away from fully understanding the science behind some of these occurrences. Even today we don't know all of the answers. But in ancient times, myths provided exciting and magical answers for how the world came to be, and why everything happened the way it did. People all over the world are still drawn to Greek mythology, whether they take the stories literally or not. In this new book for children, author Tammy Gagne unravels some of the mystery of Poseidon for young readers.
