Ο Περσέας και η Μέδουσα
Perseus and Medusa
A princess locked in a bronze room, a baby set adrift in a wooden chest, and a boy who promises a cruel king the one gift no one can bring: the head of Medusa. The great Greek hero myth, freshly told in simple Modern Greek with winged sandals, a cap of invisibility, a sea monster and a prophecy that cannot be escaped. Starts at A1 and grows gently to A2.
