The Olympic Family

In The Olympic Family, Harmonia--goddess of harmony, and the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite--shares stories from her divine relatives: the jealous, the heroic, the foolish, and the wise.

Told with warmth, wit, and just a touch of ambrosial judgment, each episode introduces a character or moment from Greek mythology in a way that makes sense for curious middle-schoolers and their grownups
