Modern movies bend them still further. Herein are fresh versions presented in a modern environment so that you might imagine meeting your favorite mythical hero or adversary at a coffee shop or in line at the movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharacter names remain the same as in the myths and the venues similar, if known. Every story stands alone, so the reading order is arbitrary. There is, however, a common link, a modern character in each—Chloe. She’s the protagonist in one, plays a major part in two, but has only a minor role in two others. If read in order, you might see Chloe grow a little with each new adventure, but that’s optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll characters are fictitious, of course, but the countries, cities, mountains, and restaurants are modern and real. They have their own history and charm that will add to your pleasure as you read. Look them up and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an added pleasure, an example of the myths’ inspired art by legendary artists currently displayed in prominent museums around world is included with each story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dick Yaeger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114330374384,"sku":"2940154396247","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154396247_p0.jpg?v=1764066675","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154396247","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
