Perseus and Andromeda

One day, the queen said that her daughter Andromeda was more
beautiful than the Nereids, the sea nymphs. The sea nymphs were
angry to hear that and complained to Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Poseidon sent the sea monster Cetus to destroy the land of
Ethiopia. The sad king Cephus called Zeus, who suggested the
sacrifice of Andromeda as the only solution.

As Perseus was flying over Africa in his return home, he came
across Atlas the Titan, a mythical giant, who challenged him. In
their fight, Perseus used Medousa's head to turn the Titan into
stone. Perseus continued his journey home and, as he passed the
kingdom of Ethiopia he saw the beautiful Andromeda, chained to
the rocks waiting to be eaten by a sea monster.

Hercules was half man and half god.
His mother Alcmene, was a mortal.
But his father was the king of all the
gods, the mighty Zeus. But Hercules
did not know he was part god until he
had grown into a man.Hera, Zeus'
wife, was very jealous of Hercules.
She tried all kinds of ways to kill him,
including sending a couple of big
snakesto kill him. Hercules killed
those snakes. Hercules was incredibly
strong, even as a baby!

Zeus loved his little son. To keep his small son safe
from attack, Zeus sent him to live with a mortal
family on earth. Hercules grew up loved. But he
was too big and too strong. One day, his earth
father told him he was a part god.
Hercules had a cousin named Eurystheus.
Eurystheus was the king of a little village in the
city of Argos. Eurystheus was an evil man. He
thought everyone wanted to steal his crown,
especially Hercules. One day, when Hera and
Eurystheus were chatting about Hercules, Hera
came up with a plan - a plan to kill Hercules!
Hera helped Eurystheus make 12 Labors that Hercules had to complete. If
Hercules completed the 12 Labors, he would earn br immortal, or so Hera
promised. Hercules asked the Oracle at Delphi who said: "If you complete
12 Labors, immorality will be yours."
