Zeus and the Olympians confront a giant snake at Delphi, only to discover a new quest awaits. The Spear of Fear, a weapon of immense power, is in the hands of the Amazonians but rightfully belongs to Ares, the God of War.

Dive into this thrilling adventure where ancient myths come alive and heroes are tested.

From the publisher

Ares, Zeus, and the other Olympians encounter a huge snake and a sharp challenge in this Heroes in Training adventure. After overcoming many challenges, Zeus and his fellow Olympians arrive at the temple at Delphi–only to find a giant snake guarding the entrance! Beyond the python, Pythia appears. Trapped in the temple by the python’s magic and mere presence, Pythia urges the Olympians not to worry about her, for they are urgently needed on another quest. The Olympians are now out to find the Spear of Fear. A group of Amazonian women currently have it, but it really belongs to Ares, the God of War. Ares is thrilled to know the next quest is about him–but soon realizes that when it comes to the powerful spear, he has a LOT to learn…
