In the beginning, everything was fine. And then along came Zeus. Ahh, Greek myths—those tales of heroism, honor, and an abundance of soap-opera drama, complete with more bizarre sexual escapades than Fifty Shades of Grey! It's high time we stopped venerating these myths and started laughing at their absurdities. Did you know that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, emerged from discarded genitals? Or that Hera tossed her own son off a mountain for being ugly? Apollo even kidnapped a boat full of people while masquerading as a dolphin! And Zeus—king of the gods and epitome of chaos—has never heard of self-control. Most Greek myths share a common thread: the drama could have been avoided if someone could just keep it together. Horrible Histories writer Susie Donkin takes us on a hilarious journey through mythology, showcasing the countless times the gods created chaos. This book is a satirical twist on the classics, reminiscent of Stephen Fry's Mythos and Drunk History. "It's about time someone called him out on all this," says Hera, Zeus's wife. "Worst. Father. Ever," laments Artemis, his daughter. Poseidon, his brother, dismisses the chaos, insisting, "Nothing to see here." Many others simply agree: "Just a real dick, honestly."
