Saviour Pirotta Libri

L'immaginario mitologico greco ha da sempre affascinato e influenzato il modo di percepire il mondo dei popoli e delle culture con cui è entrato in contatto, forte del suo fascino arcano e dei suoi eroi. Con questo libro, Saviour Pirotta ha voluto raccogliere i più celebri fra i miti greci, regalando loro una nuova forza, quella di poter essere letti - o raccontati - anche dai bambini più piccoli. Come non farsi catturare dal fascino del poeta Arione, salvato da un delfino che lo riporta sulla terraferma sul suo dorso, o dalle avventure degli Argonauti alla ricerca del Vello d'Oro? Come resistere alla storia del Vaso di Pandora e ai maligni diavoletti che esso contiene? Come non entrare in sintonia con il "povero" Re Mida? E non mancano le storie di Aracne, Teseo e il Minotauro, Pegaso e Bellerofonte, Medusa e Ulisse. Età di lettura: da 8 anni.
