Prometheus

Why did Prometheus risk the anger of Zeus to help humankind? In this illustrated retelling for young readers, the world is recovering from the war between the gods and Titans when Gaia calls for life to be created anew. Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus are given the task, but when every useful gift has already been handed to the animals, Prometheus must find another way to protect the humans he has made.

Stella Tarakson retells one of Greek mythology’s most enduring stories in a clear, lively style, with illustrations by Grace Westwood. Part of Sweet Cherry Publishing’s Greek Classics series, Prometheus introduces younger readers to the Titan associated with humanity, fire and defiance of divine authority while keeping the ancient myth accessible and engaging.
