Synopsis
Excerpt from Greek Legends
IN this book will be found a few of the legends known to every Greek and handed down from father to son, generation after generation, with the help of bards and poets, painters, and sculptors. It is the work of the poets and craftsmen that has preserved for us the great stories of early times, and we want to know the stories not only because they are very beautiful and interesting in themselves, but because the Greek artists have used them, and left us wonderful masterpieces based upon them, and because so much of Greek history and Greek religion is contained in them.
