Product Description

Stories of the ancient heroes and gods of ancient Europe including the Greek stories of Hercules, Prometheus Jason and the Golden Fleece. The Story of the sack of Troy. The Story of Beowulf and King Arthur. Also the story of Siegfried and the story of El Cid.

The myths and legends here gathered together have appealed and will continue to appeal to every age. Nowhere in the realm of fiction are there stories to compare with those which took form centuries ago when the race was in its childhood - stories so intimately connected with the life and history and religion of the great peoples of antiquity that they have become an integral part of our own civilization, a heritage of wealth to every child that is born into the world.
