Heroes In Training takes Greek mythology and retells it for a young audience, starting with Zeus and the Thunderbolt of Doom in 2012. In this version, the Olympian gods are children, and ten-year-old Zeus must gather his fellow young gods as they face the Titans who still rule the world.
The series ran for 18 books through 2021, covering the adventures of kid versions of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Ares, and other figures from Greek myth. Each book focuses on a different god or Titan while advancing the larger story. The series makes classical mythology accessible and fun for early chapter book readers without straying too far from the original stories.
