古希臘神話是西方文化、藝術、文學的泉源，也是英語詞彙的重要來源，如紡織女奧拉克妮（Arachne），最後被雅典娜變成蜘蛛，衍伸出的字根「arachn-」，即蜘蛛的意思；被宙斯化身的白色公牛帶走的歐羅芭（Europa）公主，即是歐洲（Europe）的字源。

作者序

Perhaps no other stories have ever been told so often or listened towith so much pleasure as the classic tales of ancient Greece. For manyages they have been a source of delight to young people and old, to theignorant and the learned, to all who love to hear about and contemplatethings mysterious, beautiful, and grand. They have become soincorporated into our language and thought, and so interwoven with ourliterature, that we could not do away with them now if we would. Theyare a portion of our heritage from the distant past, and they formperhaps as important a part of our intellectual life as they did of thatof the people among whom they originated.
希臘神話故事恐怕是世人傳述最頻繁、也聽得最津津有味的故事了。幾千年來，這些故事為男女老少、凡夫智者、為所有為神秘、美麗和宏偉事物著迷思索的人們帶來無窮的歡樂。希臘神話故事已經融入我們的語言和思想，與我們的文學緊密交織在一起，成為我們心中無法割捨的一部分。它們是遠古時代遺留下來的文化遺產，在現代知性生活當中所占的重要性恐怕與當時並無二致。

That many of these tales should be read by children at an early age nointelligent person will deny. Sufficient reason for this is to be foundin the real pleasure that every child derives from their perusal: and inthe preparation of this volume no other reason has been considered. Ihave here attempted to tell a few stories of Jupiter and his mightycompany and of some of the old Greek heroes, simply as stories,nothing more. I have carefully avoided every suggestion ofinterpretation. Attempts at analysis and explanation will always provefatal to a child's appreciation and enjoyment of such stories. Toinculcate the idea that these tales are merely descriptions of certainnatural phenomena expressed in narrative and poetic form, is to deprivethem of their highest charm; it is like turning precious gold intoutilitarian iron: it is changing a delightful romance into a dullscientific treatise. The wise teacher will take heed not to be guilty ofsuch an error.
我在書裡敘述朱比特與眾神的故事，還有其他希臘英雄的故事，我說的就是故事，僅此而已。我很小心避免暗示任何闡釋意義，因為意圖分析和解釋，最後只會破壞讀者看故事的興致。反覆強調這些故事只不過是以敘事體或詩體描述某些自然現象，只會奪走故事的魅力，就如同把珍貴的黃金變成了實用的鐵，把浪漫的傳奇變成枯燥的科學論文。明智的老師會小心避免這樣的錯誤。

It will be observed that while each of the stories in this volume iswholly independent of the others and may be read without any knowledgeof those which precede it, there is nevertheless a certain continuityfrom the first to the last, giving to the collection a completeness likethat of a single narrative. In order that the children of our owncountry and time may be the better able to read these stories in thelight in which they were narrated long ago, I have told them in simplelanguage, keeping the supernatural element as far as possible in thebackground, and nowhere referring to Jupiter and his mighty company asgods. I have hoped thus to free the narrative still more from everythingthat might detract from its interest simply as a story.
本書每篇故事都各自獨立，可以不照順序閱讀，但是篇篇故事之間還是存在一定的連續性，因此也可以把整本書視為一篇完整的故事。
為了讓現代的青少年更容易瞭解這些故事，我特意選用簡單的語言，並儘量淡化超自然的成分，不把朱比特和眾神突出為宗教神明。

希望這樣的做法，能更增加故事的趣味性。
J.B.
