Nico, the son of Hades, and his boyfriend Will, the son of Apollo, travel to Tartarus, the deepest, darkest part of the Underworld as they attempt to rescue an old friend.

His story is told by the first Olympian herself, Hestia, Goddess of the hearth and home. From her seat in the center of Mt. Olympus, the first Olympian, Hestia, relates the rise of Dionysos, from his birth to a mortal mother, to his discovery of wine, his battles with madness and his conquering of death itself, culminating, finally, in his ascent to Olympus and Godhood -- the first new god and the last of the Pantheon.

"After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. He must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favor"--Provided by publisher.

"Leaving the safety of the demigod training ground, a disgraced Apollo embarks on a quest across North America to find a dangerous ancient-world Oracle while navigating the challenges of the evil Triumvirate"--OCLC.

The sky-god Zeus, the hero Heracles, and the fearsome Minotaur are well-known subjects of Greek mythology. Greek Gods, Heroes, and Mythology explores the gods, heroes, creatures, and stories of Greek mythology, in addition to examining their influence today.

Apollo has been cast out of Olympus by his father, Zeus, and given a human name and identity--he is now Lester, a pathetic mortal, whose birthday is April eighth. So says his horrendous driver's license. On Earth, Apollo-Lester must face the imminent attack on Camp Jupiter by the emperors Caligula and Commodus, face down the evil Blood Moon king and his armies of the undead, and suffer the wrath of the Cumaean Sibyl, who still hasn't forgiven him.

In the second trial, Apollo/Lester must travel to the American Midwest in order to find the most dangerous Oracle before the second member of the evil Triumvirate does. Along the way Apollo will learn more about friendship as he travels with Calypso, Festus, and Leo.

The Greek god Apollo, cast down to earth as the ungifted human teenager Lester Papadopoulos, and his demigod friends must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest.

"Profiles fifty Greek gods, goddess, heroes, and monsters, including Athena, Odysseus, Persephone, the Amazons, Medusa, and the Minotaur"--OCLC.

"In a warlike land of wind and sunlight, 'ringed by a restless sea,' live Rhaskos and Melisto, spiritual twins with little in common beyond the violent and mysterious forces that dictate their lives. A Thracian slave in a Greek household, Rhaskos is as common as clay, a stable boy worth less than a donkey, much less a horse. Wrenched from his mother at a tender age, he nurtures in secret, aided by Socrates, his passions for art and philosophy. Melisto is a spoiled aristocrat, a girl as precious as amber but willful and wild. She'll marry and be tamed--the curse of all highborn girls--but risk her life for a season first to serve Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Bound by destiny, Melisto and Rhaskos--Amber and Clay--never meet in the flesh. By the time they do, one of them is a ghost. But the thin line between life and death is just one boundary their unlikely friendship crosses"--Provided by publisher.
