Description

Forget everything your high school mythology teacher mumbled about ancient heroes, stern gods, and poetic justice that conveniently skips therapy. In Perseus: Snakes, Shields, and Mommy Issues – A Hero's Guide to Gorgon-Slaying and Overachieving, bestselling myth-untangler Homer Sapien takes a mirror-polished jab at one of Greece's most iconic legends—and shows us what happens when the monster-slayer grows up, gets self-aware, and starts composting his trauma.

This isn't just a tale of decapitation and divine meddling—it's a laugh-out-loud, heart-on-its-sleeve exploration of legacy, therapy-worthy family trees, and what it actually takes to be a hero (hint: it involves fewer swords and more fig trees). With razor-sharp wit, side-eye at the gods, and emotional clarity that would terrify a Spartan, Sapien breathes flawed, fabulous humanity into every verse of this retelling.

Fans of satirical myth, emotionally intelligent monsters, and reluctant heroes with great calves will find themselves laughing, crying, and possibly rethinking every museum statue they've ever seen. Whether it's Perseus, Hercules, Jason, or Hades himself, Homer Sapien delivers mythology that's gloriously unfiltered, surprisingly therapeutic, and endlessly bingeable.

Ready for gods behaving badly, heroes rebranding, and monsters who just want five minutes of peace? Then you've found your next favorite author.

Read it. Relive it. Regret nothing.
