Demian's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by Demian	As the plot summary suggests, this is a strange little book, but it works quite well. During your search for Zeus you get a chance to participate in a number of different Greek myths and you meet lots of famous mythological figures ranging from Icarus to Cerberus. The book would make a fairly good introduction to Greek mythology, though some of the stories could have benefitted from a bit more background detail.
SherlockHolmes's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by SherlockHolmes	This is the first Choose Your Own Adventure book I ever owned. I consider it to be one of the best in the series, due to the excellent depiction of Greek mythology, as well as the large variety of adventures available through the various paths in the book. It also has a fair amount of positive endings available, but any path you follow provides some interesting insight. Highly recommended.
