Jason tracks down a funktified fleece (like, seriously rotten, that is!) in this epically gross Greek myth retelling! Will the legendary hero prevail in his grotesque quest, or will he totally stink?

Studies have shown that developing an “atomic habit”—just doing a few minutes a day of whatever skill or habit you want to take on—can be more than enough to engrain it into our lives. Therefore, we have transformed timeless, legendary stories into 10-minute bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the listener but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.

The mighty Hercules takes on twelve disgusting feats—including scooping massive mountains of manure—in this epically gross Greek myth retelling! Will the demigod rise to the awful occasion, or will he totally poop out?

This story is excerpted from The Boy Who Shouted “Wolf!” But There Wasn’t a Wolf: And Other Tales by Geoffrey Thomas.

Geoffrey Thomas introduces extraordinary characters in this fantastical tale based on Aesop’s fable.

Abbandonata in fasce su una montagna dal padre, il re Jaso, che desiderava un figlio maschio, la piccola Atalanta viene allevata da un’orsa sotto lo sguardo vigile di Diana, la dea della caccia. Divenuta una giovane donna forte e coraggiosa, parte alla scoperta del mondo e degli esseri umani, e compie imprese straordinarie. La sua forza d’animo e la sua integrità fanno sfigurare eroi quali Teseo e Giasone, dei quali si conquista il rispetto e l’amicizia. Gianni Rodari racconta, con la sua consueta maestria, la storia di uno dei personaggi femminili più affascinanti della mitologia greca.
