Chasing Gods And Heroes

As you journey through Greece with the author you will discover how Herakles created the Milky Way; why Aphrodite, the goddess of love, had no parents; and you will be amused to learn of the favourite party trick of Diogenes, the Cynic philosopher, as he strolled, stark naked, through the market place.

On Crete you will be intrigued to see how the ancient Greeks wrote both forwards and backwards. At the site of the ancient Olympics you will be surprised to learn how, in 564 BC, Arrhichion won the all-in wrestling even though he was dead; and you will blush to learn what wrestlers did with their willies before they competed.

All of that, and much, much more. So join the author as he wanders through a fabled and fabulous land, chasing gods and heroes, and having a whole lot of fun on the way.
