Items related to Hades and the Helm of Darkness (3) (Heroes in Training)
The Heroes in Training are entering the Underworld—if Hades can conquer his canine fears, that is.
The Underworld usually isn’t really meant to be a fun place—but tell that to Hades! He loves the dark and the stinky smell of sulfur. However, there is one thing that Hades is not a fan of: dogs. And when Zeus and his fellow Olympians encounter Cerberus—a snarling, three-headed dog—Hades must conquer his fears and tame the hound so everyone can continue into the Underworld and deposit their Titan prisoner, Oceanus, back where he belongs!
But with magical water that causes forgetfulness, hot beds of lava, and another epic battle with two more Titans standing in their way, will Zeus and his heroes make it out of the Underworld with everyone intact?

Hades and the Helm of Darkness
CHAPTER ONE Stinky River Styx
Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades stood on a hill, gazing downward. A river wound like a snake through the gloomy valley below. It was all that stood between them and their goal—the Underworld.
Zeus sniffed the air, then wrinkled his nose. “P.U.! What is that stinky smell?”
Poseidon pointed toward the valley with the three-pronged end of his trident. “I think it’s that river.”
The river looked brown and sludgy. There was a giant sign by it that read: RIVER STYX.
Maybe the sign was written wrong, thought Zeus. Maybe it should really say: RIVER STINKS!
Hades gazed happily at the river. “What are you guys talking about? I think it’s awesome!”
“You would, weirdo,” said Poseidon. “Well, you know what I think? I think there’s no way I’m going near that river. I think that oracle is crazy.”
Zeus knew he meant Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi. She’d sent them here to the Underworld on a quest. They were supposed to find the Helm of Darkness. Whatever that was. As usual, she hadn’t fully explained. She always seemed to expect them to figure these things out on their own.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Phillips, Craig (illustrator). 1st Edition. P.U.! The underworld is a scary -- and stinky -- place. After a journey across the River Styx, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades find themselves deep in the Underworld on a new quest by order of the Oracle at Delphi. This time they're searching for the mysterious Helm of Darkness. And for their friend Hera, who left the group to stroke out on her own after their last adventure at sea. Though Zeus and Poseidon aren't huge fans of the place, Hades takes to the Underworld as if he has always belonged there. The smell of sulfur doesn't ick him out, and the crocky-deads don't terrify him. But there is one thing he isn't a fan of -- a giant three-headed dog that could be friend or foe. ALADDIN, HARDCOVER, 1ST EDITION, 2ND PRINTING, 2013 THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK. Seller Inventory # 003058
