In 'Beyond the Odyssey', the third instalment of the 'Who Let the Gods Out?' series, young hero Elliot Hooper's adventures continue as he must once again team up with the gods of Olympus. This time, Elliot faces the challenge of navigating the treacherous seas, encountering deadly creatures and battling his own personal hardships, while still trying to take care of his ailing mother and fend off the villainous daemon Thanatos. Elliot shares his home with a variety of Greek gods and the slightly annoying Virgo. They must find the third Chaos Stone before the death daemon Thanatos can get his hands on it, as saving the world is a crucial task. However, Elliot's mother's health is deteriorating, and only an elixir can save her from the worst. Thus, Elliot embarks on a dangerous odyssey that takes him to the realm of the dead, where he faces the toughest decision of his life.
