Summary "Stories of the Old World" by Alfred John Church is a collection of retellings of ancient myths and legends, written in the late 19th century. This work draws upon classical sources, specifically focusing on the rich tapestry of stories from Greek mythology, including the adventures of Jason and the Argonauts, as well as tales surrounding the city of Thebes. Readers can expect an engaging introduction to key characters like Jason, the heroic leader seeking the mythical Golden Fleece, and the tragic events involving Oedipus and his offspring. At the start of "Stories of the Old World," the narrative begins with the tale of Jason, who embarks on a perilous quest to retrieve the fabled Golden Fleece. The opening chapters introduce the challenges Jason faces, including a treacherous task set by King Pelias and the gathering of legendary heroes like Hercules and Orpheus to accompany him on his journey. The story unfolds with Jason's encounters with various divine and mortal figures, touching upon themes of fate, loyalty, and the complex relationships between gods and men. The rich descriptions and engaging dialogue offer readers an immersive glimpse into the world of ancient Greek heroism and folly. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
