Description

When the Earth was still new, the very difficult, impossible tasks were done by heroes. And among them, the first hero was Hercules – and the first hunter in the world, since he killed the Nemean lion, at a time when animals were not just animals, but gods, monsters, kings, earthquakes, beauties and fears, seas and rivers, darkness and stars. With the Mythological Tales series, a new "reading" of ancient Greek myths is attempted. They are not old, oft-told stories of forgotten gods, but exciting action tales, through which all the timeless human adventures, fears, and joys that have marked and still mark the human soul unfold.

Read an excerpt

In the early days of the world, beasts were gods. And in any case, gods were often beasts. And humans, who very much wanted to be gods (or at least beasts), had not yet found a way to hunt them. The truth is, they hadn't even found a way to escape when the beasts hunted them. But for humans to hunt the beasts themselves, there was no question. Because in those very ancient times... there were no hunters yet. Only a few dared to face wolves, boars, snakes, or wild bulls. Fewer still managed to trap a bear, an eagle, a tiger, or a horse. Even fewer dared to face dragons, lamias, viper women, and sphinxes. And only true heroes grit their teeth and fought the wildest, the most terrible, the most frightening beasts: the lions.
