You'll consult the all-knowing Oracles for fun and profit. You'll go to war for Helen of Troy. You'll laze around in the Land of the Lotus-Eaters, and more!;Your biggest challenge will be battling foes like the snake-headed Medusa. As a Mere Mortal, your chances of winning are slim. But lucky for you, you can send powerful Heroes like Hercules to fight in your place.;TO WIN: collect gold coins, help Jason in his search for the Golden Fleece, and make your way safely through the Labyrinth maze.;DEAR PARENTS AND OTHER EDUCATORS: All the mythological characters children meet playing the BY JOVE board game are featured in the BY JOVE STORIES book, included in this package. The stories were written by an award-winning author and are exciting on their own. But we think children will find the game more enjoyable after they've read them. By the same token, the game will make children curious about the stories. Ancient myths live on in today's culture in astronomy, themes in movies and literature, and even the occasional TV commercial. We believe no child's education is complete without these myths, and that BY JOVE is a perilous, adventurous, joyous way to learn them!
