Description

God Beneath the Sea by Leon Garfield and Edward Blishen is an epic retelling of Greek mythology. From the violent beginnings of the gods to the creation of man, this novel takes readers on a journey through the ages. The story begins with the birth of Hephaestus, who is cast from Mount Olympus by his mother Hera. Raised in a grotto by Thetis and Eurynome, he learns various Greek creation myths. As the narrative unfolds, it explores the lives of the Olympians and the age of gods and mortals. The novel concludes with Hephaestus' return to Olympus, having been cast down for a second time after reproaching Zeus. This story is a fascinating introduction to the subject of Greek mythology, appealing to both children and adults alike.
