Hades and the Underworld: An Interactive Mythological Adventure

by Blake Hoena, Nadine Takvorian (Illustrator)

Overview

The Underworld is the land of the dead and ruled by the powerful god Hades. It is not a place where the living are welcome, but that’s where you must go. You will need to cross the River Styx and face the three-head dog Cerberus. But once you are there and reach your goal, will you be able to find your way back to the living or be trapped forever? Full-page illustrations, interactive stories, and multiple endings transport you back to ancient Greece and into deep dark depths of the Underworld.
