About the book
Old Greek Stories
This book is written in simple language of the stories of the old Greek mythological heroes, and their encounters with Jupiter and the other Olympians. These tales should be read by children at an early age no intelligent person will deny, every child derives from their perusal. Each of the stories in this volume is wholly independent of the others and may be read without any knowledge of those which precede it, there is nevertheless a certain continuity from the first to the last, giving to the collection a completeness like that of a single narrative.
