Theseus and the Minotaur (Ancient Myths)
Every nine years, the Athenians have to send a sacrifice of seven young men and women to Crete. These victims meet a gruesome end in the jaws of the minotaur. Only Theseus can end this cycle, but he will need the help of a famous craftsman.

About the Author:
James Ford is a Capstone Press author.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4 - Each of these British imports begins with an almost-identical preface describing "The World of Ancient Mythology" and then moves on to an introduction that sets the scene. The narratives remain true to the original tales with little adaptation. The writing style in all three is clear but pedestrian. Boxes that provide additional background on people and places appear on every page. Unfortunately, in all three books, caricatures reminiscent of Saturday-morning cartoons illustrate even the most tragic or horrific of events, such as Hercules feeding Diomedes to his hungry horses (Hercules) or Medea tossing parts of a dismembered Pelias into a boiling cauldron (Jason). Cartoon buffoonery deflates the power of these stories, and dialogue bubbles - such as Hercules muttering "Come on, you fat pig!" as he drags the Erymanthian Boar - are equally jarring. Children would be better served by Malam's Gods and Goddesses (School Specialty, 1999). - Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ
