Sobre IBD

Our journey through Ancient Greece, takes us from the steaming swamps of Nemea where Hercules slayed the Hydra, to the Caucasian Mountains, where an enormous eagle would eat the liver of Prometheus, then on to Cape Verde where Perseus would remove the awful head of Medusa, the Gorgon, then to the edge of the ancient world, to Colchis, where Jason would encounter the Colchian Dragon. Our journey would not be complete without encountering the mother and father of most of the twenty-four creatures included in this compilation, Echidna and Typhon.
