A long time ago in ancient Greece there was
a queen called Persia who lived in a very tall
castle at the top Mount Olympus. There was
a big problem because her daughter got lost
on the Island of Crete. The earth started
to shake and suddenly the Centaur appeared
and snatched her away to a cave.
To make matters worse there was also a
catastrophe in Aethra. A fire blowing
monster that lived on human flesh had all
the people terrified. It was eating villagers
every day.
The sad queen was looking down from her
palace. She commanded her servants to get
the great, strong, mighty hero Odysseus.
Odysseus arranged to rescue the queen’s
daughter but before he left he had to kill
the terrible fire blowing monster. He cut its
head off with one mighty blow.
Odysseus’s journey was not easy. There
came a terrible storm and it blew Odysseus
into the underworld. After that he met
Hades the god of the underworld. Odysseus
was scared because the underworld was
gloomy and dark. Hades heard how
Odysseus needed to save the Princess and
luckily he let him go.
Odysseus searched and searched for the
cave. Eventually he found it. Suddenly the
Centaur appeared and crept up behind
Odysseus. They started to have a fight.
They fought for three whole days and
nights and then Odysseus fell to the ground
exhausted. The Centaur roared in victory.
But the Centaur was in for a surprise. The
god of life shot an arrow at Odysseus.
Thankfully he came back to live again. Then
Odysseus thanked the gods and it took
many days to get to the cave. Odysseus
hoped he wasn’t too late. With a mighty
swing of his sword he chopped off his head
and killed the Centaur.
The queen was so happy because her
daughter was brought home safely. The
whole town celebrated the death of the
monsters and the rescue of the princess
Odysseus was rewarded with gold and silver
for his bravery.
