Ok let's take it from the top. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are the three brothers. Zeus marries Hera and has occasional affairs with quarter of a bajillion other women. Poseidon's a bit better with just a million affairs. Hades marries Persephone. Now, Athena is Zeus' daughter and Hephaestus is Hera's son, which makes them step siblings, yet Hephaestus asks Athena's hand in marriage!
I know, Greek gods and their stories! Knowing all the tales is a monumental task, even if you're Ella the Harpie (Percy Jackson followers, you know exactly what I'm talking about). So, our myth master, Rick Riordan, has written yet another fascinating novel about the Greek gods. All information one needs to know about them, in one book. How cool is that?
Our encyclopedia starts with the time before the gods, when Gaia and Ouranos ruled the world. Slowly and steadily we move towards the Titan Age and then finally to our Olympian God age. One complete chapter is dedicated to each of the gods (because we don't want to be hurting their ego. You never know who might decide to take revenge on you). In those chapters, we have a complete detailed analysis of the God. Right from the how they came to the world, which is usually quite disturbing, to who asks them out and what were their hobbies. Basically all the deep, dirty secrets of any God.
So, if you're into Greek gods and can go through bloodshed, backstabbing, cheating and an occasional happy ending, this book is for you.
