Perseus has grown up on a tiny Mediterranean island and knows nothing of the outside world. He doesn't even have any friends his own age. When his mother is accosted by the island's king and the young man steps in to stop it, Perseus is given a quest: To save his mother from an unwanted marriage, he must kill Medusa and bring her head back to the king. Nobody expects the young man to come back alive, but they don't know the secret of his true parentage.
In this very modern retelling of the Perseus legend from Greek mythology, the emphasis is on the many gods and mortals the young man meets on his quest. Most of these encounters involve sex in this erotically charged story. The language and sensibilities expressed by most of the characters are especially contemporary. Rather than being anachronistic, this makes the ancient legend all the more relevant.
Perseus is painted as an especially likable young man. Then again, as his lover points out late in the story, his demi-god “talent” appears to be empathy, so it's hard not to like him. He's definitely heroic, doing what needs to be done as long as it's the right thing.
The young hero is not alone on his quest. He meets up with Bellerophon along the way and also enlists the aid of the winged horse Pegasus. Perseus and Bellerophon become lovers, but the two young men are indeed “lusty” and never seem to object to a third man joining in their fun.
This is definitely an enjoyable retelling of a well-known tale.

The Lusty Journey of Perseus Kindle Edition
You’ve never heard the story of Perseus and Medusa told quite like this before!
At just nineteen, the handsome and naive Perseus is given a devastating choice: venture out into the world for the first time to slay the monster Medusa, or watch his mother be forcibly married to his homeland’s tyrannical king. Raised on a small island nation where most everyone goes naked and the main activity is fishing, Perseus is ill-prepared for a quest that includes any sort of danger.
Fortunately, he has the gods on his side. After a sexy romp with the Greek god Hermes, he’s given both instructions and an invaluable gift: winged sandals that allow him to fly.
When he teams up with a Corinthian prince who wins his heart, Perseus embarks on one of the great adventures of the ages. Will Perseus be able to save his mother, slay the monster, and live happily ever after with his prince?

Perseus and his mother live on the Island of Seriphos after surviving being thrown into the sea by his grandfather and left to drown in a chest. They were taken in by Dictys and his wife and made part of the family and were the only grandparents Perseus knew. He fished and swam and enjoyed life and like everyone else on the island he wore no clothes. In his naked state and laying on the beach he met a young man named Bellerophon the prince of Corinth. Before long Perseus convinced Bellerophon to take off his clothes and they swam together enjoying the day until Bellerophon’s tutor interrupted. They were at least able to kiss each other, and it was a kiss that would be remembered by both.
Perseus was seventeen when he met Bellerophon and now two years later he still thinks about him. He has never had sex other than by hand until a nymph named Neropeos found him on the beach and gave him what he always dreamed about and although it wasn’t Bellerophon he had no complaints. While they were together, he heard his mother scream and ran to find one of the king’s men dragging her. The king has decided that his mom would be his bride, but he made the mistake of punching the king’s man and that was a punishable crime.
To save his mom and his life he is given a task, to bring the king the head of Medusa. An impossible mission for a young man who has never left the island and is totally unfamiliar with the outside world. It is Hermes who comes to his aid, giving him sandals with wings and information on how to find her. Along the way he finds himself encountering one danger after another until fate gives him the greatest gift of all, Bellerophon. Bellerophon is also on a quest to kill the Chimera and once the two are reunited their feelings for each other just grow.
Two men sent on deadly quests find each other and together must survive. There are surprises, secrets and lots and lots of explicit sex, every meeting becomes a sexual encounter and there are many such meetings. Overall, it was a fun read and I read it in one sitting. If M/M sex, Gods and Goddesses are your thing than this book is perfect for you.
