Summary "Bulfinch's Mythology" by Thomas Bulfinch is a collection of mythological stories that was likely written in the mid-19th century. The work comprehensively explores various myths from both classical and medieval sources, including ancient Greek and Roman legends, as well as the Arthurian tales and legends of Charlemagne. The aim is to make these timeless stories accessible and engaging for modern readers, shedding light on their significance in literature and culture. At the start of "Bulfinch's Mythology," the author offers a prelude explaining the importance of mythology in understanding both ancient and contemporary literature. He asserts that many literary references often depend on a reader's familiarity with these myths. The opening chapters introduce the reader to the mythology of the gods and heroes, beginning with the creation myths and the notable tales of Prometheus and Pandora. These stories reveal not only the characters and their heroic deeds but also the moral lessons and cultural significance that they hold in shaping human experiences and the art of storytelling.
