Zeus and the Olympians are tasked with finding a magical horse in this Heroes in Training adventure.When Zeus meets a young boy named Hermes, he claims to have their next quest from Pythia, the Oracle at Delphi. But he wants something for the information: Zeus must hand over the winged sandals he took from Perseus after their last battle. What he doesn’t know is that Perseus had stolen those sandals from someone…Hermes! Could those sandals be another magical object? When Hermes starts to fly, Zeus knows they have found another Olympian for their group—and Hermes lets Zeus know their next adventure will be to “find the force that sings.” Since Pythia never tells them exactly the right words (her glasses tend to get a little foggy), they figure out that they are supposed to find “the horse with wings.” With the help of a reluctant Hermes and another new boy named Ron, the Olympians are off in search of a winged horse­—with a few surprises along the way!

And his interests and sympathies were too human and too fundamental to be bounded by his congregation or limited by his denomination. His parish was the community. And his ministry was to human need. He fed and clothed the poor, he visited the sick, com forted the sorrowing and mourning, gave cour age and hope to the dying, brought penitence to the sinful, and revealed the Christ to all. He won men by his message and found them by his ministry because he linked his life with their lives and divided their burdens with them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
