A reworking of the Greek Myths, where characters such as Persephone, Prometheus and Sisyphus are brought together under one narrative. Divided into three sections, the book begins with the first fall of the infant Hephaestus, from the heights of Olympus to the seas below, with part two covering Prometheus and Pandora, and the final section devoted to stories of gods interacting with mortals.
