unveiling greek mythology (2) (彩圖英文版25k+1mp3)

Perhaps no other stories have ever been told so often or listened to with so much pleasure as the classic tales of ancient Greece.

They have become so incorporated into our language and thought, and so interwoven with our literature, that we could not do away with them now if we would. They are a portion of our heritage from the distant past, and they form perhaps as important a part of our intellectual life as they did of that of the people among whom they originated.

In order that the young people of our own country and time may be the better able to read these stories in the light in which they were narrated long ago, I have told them in simple language.

I have hoped thus to free the narrative still more from everything that might detract from its interest simply as a story.
