"Gods and Heroes; or, The Kingdom of Jupiter" by R. E. Francillon is a collection of mythological tales written in the late 19th century. The book draws from classical mythology, mainly focusing on stories from Roman and Greek traditions as inspired by Ovid. It aims to present these ancient narratives in a way that retains their poetic essence while also making them accessible to readers of all ages. The opening of the work introduces themes of family and power dynamics among the deities, beginning with the tale of Saturn, the god of time. The narrative details how Saturn, after freeing his siblings from their father's wrath, makes a grave promise about his future children that he struggles to uphold. Through a series of mythological events, Francillon explores the emergence of Jupiter as a prominent figure among gods, detailing his battles against Titans and Giants, and his relationships with other deities, including his marriage to Juno. The story weaves in the intricacies of divine relationships and moral lessons, setting the stage for an extensive exploration of mythological characters and their legendary tales.
