Before Zeus ruled Olympus, before heroes fought monsters, before there was even a world, there was the first god: Khaos.
In this beautifully told introduction to Greek mythology, young readers are taken back to the very first days of creation. They will meet Khaos, the great empty gap; Nyx, the Night; Erebus, the Darkness; Gaia, the Earth; Ouranos, the Sky; and Kronus, the youngest and most cunning of the Titans.
Written in clear, vivid language for early readers, The Beginning of the World retells the ancient Greek creation myth in a way that is dramatic, accessible, and age-appropriate. These ancient stories have shaped literature, art, language, and culture for thousands of years, and this book introduces children to the first great figures of Greek myth in a way they can understand, enjoy, and remember.
Children will discover how Earth and Sky gave birth to the Titans, why Ouranos feared his own children, and how Kronus rose to power long before the age of Zeus and Mount Olympus.
With short paragraphs, rhythmic storytelling, and beautiful age-appropriate illustrations on every page, this book is ideal for independent reading, read-aloud time, classroom use, or homeschool studies of Ancient Greece.
The Beginning of the World is Book One in a new Greek mythology series for early readers.
