Phone home, Persephone!
Description
The story about how Hades kidnapped Persephone when she was picking flowers? Totally false! Zeus made that story up to make himself look better. What else would you expect from a total myth-o-maniac? The truth is, Persephone was trying to escape her overprotective mother, Demeter. King Hades, Ruler of the Underworld, is here to set the record straight.

Horn Book Review
Hades, ruler of the Underworld, is angered over being cast as the bad guy in ancient mythology. He strives to set the record straight in first-person narratives describing his jealous battles with Zeus and his relationship with the cell phone-carrying Persephone. This satiric spin presumes that readers know the original myths; if not, they may find the stories humorous but confusing. [Review covers these Myth-O-Mania titles: [cf2]Have a Hot Time, Hades![cf1] and [cf2]Phone Home, Persephone![cf1].] From HORN BOOK Spring 2003, (c) Copyright 2010.
