Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes - Penguin Books UK

On the way out of the Underworld, a very dirty-looking and tired Psyche decided to take some of the beauty cream for herself because unlike Aphrodite, she really needed it. Instead of beauty cream, Persephone actually put Stygian sleep inside, the essence of the Underworld, intended for Aphrodite for causing problems before. The Stygian sleep filled Psyche's lungs which caused her to pass out. The artist / illustration style is the same as in the other companion book about the Greek gods, but maybe a little less comical and more serious (perhaps due to the nature of the stories?). I liked both it and the colour palette as it was very varied, just like the stories.As Eros was still recovering, he told her mother what had really happened, much to Aphrodite's fury. Upon being brought in Aphrodite's palace by Hera, Aphrodite made Psyche complete several tasks if she wanted to be her son's wife or she would die. First, she had to sort out mountains grains into the correct bags before dinner time. Demeter sent ants to do it as a thank you for cleaning her temple. Next, Psyche had to fetch some wool of sheep for clothes to mend. Some reeds near a river got it for her as Hera's reward for cleaning her altar. Then, Psyche had to travel up a tall mountain to fill a pitcher of water from a sacred spring, one of the headwaters for the River Styx. Having overheard this, Eros convinced Zeus to send an eagle to get the water instead. Despite her extraordinary beauty, Psyche isn't egotistical. In the past, she actually wished for regular looks because she didn't want overwhelming attention.

Live monsters. Two or more should suffice. Poisonous fangs and inhuman strength adds to the potency of your potion Upon mixing the above ingredients, let it rest under a full moon. If you've brewed it right, it should taste bitter and salty, yet wholly satisfying. Note: Medea is awesome. She doesn't deserve to be portrayed as an evil sorceress. She has ambition, which scared the shit out of ancient Greek men so they made her into a villain. The stuff she did is no less horrible than Hercules and Jason. You know, celebrated heroes.

Old Bessie's looking a bit dry there.
