(3) 4-6 Heroes series. Sticking close to the traditional Greek myth, this version of the adventures of Perseus is engaging and well written. After an oracle decrees that he will be killed by his yet to be conceived grandson, Acrisius has his daughter imprisoned, but she becomes pregnant anyway. The story unfolds with a quest, evil rulers overthrown, and Acrisius unable to stop fate.
