Octavia and the Greek Key : James A. Castagno : 9780996943604 : 0996943609 : 14 Oct 2015 : Octavia, a fourteen-year-old American girl living in Italy, finds a statue of the Greek Goddess Athena, buried on a hillside above the ancient Greco-Roman ruins at Paestum. She will discover the small figure once stood in a temple over 1.900 years ago. Zeus chose her to return it, but first she must find the second statue; one of Goddess Hera. Trapped inside their city walls for over a hundred years, the citizens of Paestum long for freedom. Only Octavia can release them from internment and stop pending extinction. But Zeus is powerful and demanding. An immortal Spartan and the mythological Underworld creatures he commands, guard the statue of Hera. Will Octavia discover her ability to overcome the creatures? Even if she does, she is destined to come face to face with the Spartan, a man she cannot destroy.
