Summary

In these bedtime stories, I tell you three different myths from Ancient Greece: The story of Perseus, how he was conceived by Zeus and Danaë, went on an adventure to cut off the head of Medusa the Gorgon, and rescued Andromeda. The myth of the Labyrinth, built in Crete by Daedalus for King Minos to contain the Minotaur, and how Theseus slew it with the help of Ariadne. The myth of Prometheus, who stole the secret of fire to give it to mankind and was punished for it.
