In his third adventure, Corydon Panfoot vows to defeat the Olympian gods, whose vainglorious self-love is responsible for the world's wars and destruction. Defending Troy with his fellow monsters, Corydon witnesses the deaths of Hektor and Akhilleus and plans a trap for Zeus. Using characters and images from the Iliad, the confidently written story shapes old material into a compelling original adventure. Bib., glos.

Corydon Panfoot of Corydon & the Island of Monsters sets out on an Odyssean quest with his monster companions to rescue the kidnapped Minotaur from Atlantis. The series-wide battle between the gods tips toward grandiosity here and is undermined by the author's inconsistent would-be-comic anachronisms. But fans of Greek hero adventures will appreciate the many imaginative episodes and engaging themes. Reading list. Glos.
