The God Beneath the Sea

by Leon Garfield and Edward Blishen

Grade: Good

I really like the gods, for the same reason that I like superheroes, I think. Hermes was the best in this one, with his "sideways smile", and his son Autolycus, grandfather of Odysseus. Hades was cool in his love for Persephone, but no Hades could beat the Hades in The Lightning Thief.
Unfortunately, the gods are very sensual. Good because they have lots of cool kids, bad because...well, you know.
