Corydon is thrown out of his village for being born with a goat's leg. Captured by pirates and put into a freak show with other monsters, he finds out he is the secret son of Pan. He meets Medusa the gorgon, the Minotaur, the Sphinx and many other mythical creatures and, with the aid of a magical staff, manages to free them and lead their escape into the mountains. But Zeus, king of the classical gods, is alerted to their escape and forces his son, Perseus, to raise an army of heroes to pursue and kill them. When Medusa's baby son is stolen from her by Perseus, the battle becomes personal. Now not only do they face a devastating army, but they must also rescue the baby gorgon. But first Corydon must travel deep into the Underworld to uncover the secrets of the staff...
Since the disastrous fall of Atlantis, Corydon and the monsters have gone their separate ways, each licking their wounds from their inability to save the legendary city. But now Troy is under siege by the heroes and Corydon's friend, Sikandar, Prince of Troy, appeals to him for help. With the two gorgons and the Minotaur within the city walls, they come up with a plan to fight back against the Olympians. But the Olympians' leader, Akhilleus, is more than a match for the monsters - and he's prepared to sacrifice everything to win this battle...

Then the Minotaur is kidnapped and Corydon and his friends are faced with a rescue mission: a mission which will lead them on a dangerous voyage across the sea, all the way to the celebrated city of Atlantis. But Atlantis is a city riven by secrets, with a war between the gods threatening to tear it apart. Can Corydon and his friends rescue the Minotaur, before Atlantis is destroyed forever?
