Zeus the hamster and his cohorts escape their cages at Mount Olympus Pet Center in Athens, Georgia, to solve the mystery of the labyrinth--the center''s duct system.

Kreikan myyttejä, hurmaavia eläimiä ja hulvattoman huimia seikkailuja! Tervetuloa Olymposvuoren löytöeläinkeskukseen! Tarinan tähti on Zeus Mahtava, jumalten kuningas ja hamsteri, joka hallitsee lemmikkikaupan valtakuntaa yhdessä muiden jumalien kanssa, joihin kuuluvat Athene-kissa, Demeter-sirkka, Ares-koira ja Poseidon-pallokala. Olymposvuoren löytöeläinkeskuksen jumallemmikit ovat todellinen joukkue: he hotkaisevat eeppisiä seikkailuja yhtä sulavasti kuin Ares-mopsi Haukun herkkuja ja kukistavat vihollisia, jotka ovat pistävämpiä kuin Poseidon-pallokalan piikit. Mutta kun Hermes-niminen kana ilmestyy kuvioihin, asiat saavat uuden käänteen, ja ennen kuin ryhmä huomaakaan, Oraakkeli on puhunut ja Herkkuleen salaperäiset koettelemukset alkavat! Kenestä tulee huippujumala? Kykeneekö Zeus jakamaan parrasvalon ja taistelemaan Hermeksen rinnalla? Liity Zeus-hamsterin, Athene-kissan, Demeter-heinäsirkan, Poseidon-pallokalan ja herkkusuumopsi Areksen seuraan heidän kolmannessa hulvattomassa seikkailussaan! Löytöeläinkeskus sijaitsee USA:n Georgian Athens-kaupungissa, ja sen omistaa Artie, joka rakastaa kodittomien eläinten lisäksi antiikin Kreikan tarinoita. Hän on nimennyt keskuksen eläimet jumalten nimillä, ja eläimet tempautuvatkin antiikin Kreikasta tuttuihin seikkailuihin. Kirjan loppuosassa on tieto-osuus, joka vie kartan ja tarinan avulla alkuperäisen myytin ja sen henkilöiden äärelle.
