- Pigs, Courage, Swine, Greek Mythology
Continues the epic tale of Gyllus, a talking pig, as he and his friends, ex-priestess Sibyl and poet Homer, set off on the high seas in search of Circe, who can return Gryllus to his human state, but first they must free some captive gods and, perhaps, save the world again.
