With her ancient companions, Pandy (Pandora) continues her quest to return the lost evils to her box, this time searching for Greed in Rome. The contemporary teen idioms persist in this installment, and the plot meanders a bit to focus on the teens' personal problems. The characterizations of Greco-Roman gods are slapstick, which fans of the humorous series will expect--and enjoy. Glos.
