Book Synopsis

The people of Athens no longer believe in the gods. But when an old boat builder performs an impressive feat of strength, the townspeople proclaim him to be Hercules. The collective belief brings the gods back to Mount Olympus, including Hera and Hades. Now on a mission to kill Hercules, the gods devise a three-part plan to find his one weakness and destroy Greece along with him. With his wife and the people of Athens in danger, the old man must find the strength to fight back. But can his undying love for his wife conquer the mighty power of the gods? An inventive retelling of Greek mythology that casts legendary figures in a new light, The Old Man, His Wife and the gods of Mount Olympus is an exciting tale of a man's undying love for his wife.

A love story so pure, even the gods of Mount Olympus are inspired.
