Greek Myths For Children

Listen to this version of a classic Aesop's fable, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

More than 2,000 years ago, the Greeks told stories about their important god called Apollo. He was the god of poetry, the sun, laws, healing, and more. Apollo was also the god of music.

Should they accept this peace offering? Or is the gift horse too good to be true?
