Le plus grand héros de la mythologie grecque. Mont Olympe. S'il veut pouvoir garantir la paix entre les hommes, Zeus doit envoyer un représentant sur Terre. Mais qui pourrait être à la hauteur ? Sur les bons conseils d'Hermès, le roi des dieux décide d'engendrer un fils avec une mortelle : un demi-dieu, voilà le candidat idéal pour s'acquitter de cette tâche !

Mais Zeus ignore que l'ombre de la jalousie d'Héra, son épouse, plane sur le destin de ce fils providentiel... Découvrez la genèse du plus grand héros de la mythologie grecque dans une passionnante trilogie où action, aventure et querelles divines sont au rendez-vous.

I liked the story about Zeus who asks Apollo what he should do. Mix with humans and created offspring... He didn't ask his wife?? It is also not the first time he makes the same mistake.
I'm curious what will be the next mistake Zeus makes...
Hera tries to murder the son but that has proven difficult, really difficult...
