ADAMANTHEA

One of the [NYMPHS], she nursed and hid the infant [ZEUS] from his child-devouring father [CRONUS].

As Lord of the sky, the earth and the sea, CRONUS could detect anything sneaky that went on in these realms.

But cunning ADAMANTHEA hooked ZEUS's cradle to a tree and, because he was dangling in the space between earth and sky, CRONUS was none the wiser.

We are often asked about merchandise. Can we supply the latest Adamanthea graphic novel, book or comic? Not to mention role-playing games (RPG), video games, Adamanthea movies on DVD, BluRay and so on. To purchase such goodies we suggest you search for a dedicated mythology-based online store - or try Amazon, Ebay or other reputable websites. We offer a wide range of our own merchandise in our online GodShop, but we don't currently sell third party items. Yet!

Visitors often email us asking about Adamanthea statues, sculptures or carved figurines of Adamanthea. We regret we cannot assist with identifying such items.
