Published in America in 1895 - A Century of Greek Mythology: Heroes and Greek Fairy Tales While the original texts of Greek mythology are indeed profound and complex, often not suitable for children's reading, this collection of Greek myth stories is the work of British literary figure Charles Kingsley (1819-1875). It is a compilation of Greek fairy tales crafted exclusively for children. The narratives focus on three heroic figures from Greek mythology: PERSEUS, THE ARGONAUTS, and THESEUS. The author held a particular fondness for Greek fairy tales, believing that the adventurous journeys of these characters would inspire children to pursue higher goals with integrity, conveying the power of courage and wisdom. Such as, how did Perseus slay the Gorgon? How did the centaurs train the Argonauts on Mount Pelion? How did Theseus defeat the Minotaur? Year: 1895 Dimensions: 15.1*11.5cm Pages: 208 The binding is complete and the book is readable. However, as a century-old antique book, it inevitably bears historical marks.
