Da un viaggio in Grecia nasce lo spunto per narrare le vicende del mito di Perseo: l'infanzia dell'eroe, lo scontro con la Medusa, l'incontro con Atlante e, infine, l'uccisione involontaria, del nonno Acrisio. Questo mito, attraverso il quale gli antichi spiegavano l'origine delle costellazioni di Andromeda e Cassiopea, è dotato di una carica poetica capace di incantare anche i lettori moderni. Completano il testo alcuni dossier sull'antica Grecia, sulle Olimpiadi e una serie di esercizi di comprensione del testo.
