Magic, Monsters and Oracles from the Greek Myths Maureen J. Carter 1996

Here are stories from the mythical world of the ancient Greeks, which was populated not only with powerful Gods and Goddesses, but also with monsters, most of which were terrible to behold.

Many of these beings sprang direct from the seed of Gaia or Mother Earth and it was she who instigated the Oracle at Delphi whose prophecies are described in the latter part of this book when, towards the end, we leave the world of myth and enter that of history.
