Summary: "The Junior Classics, Volume 3: Tales from Greece and Rome" by William Patten is a collection of mythological tales selected and arranged for young readers, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume features retellings of classic Greek and Roman myths, focusing on legendary heroes like Theseus and Bellerophon, their adventures, and the timeless themes of bravery, destiny, and divine intervention. The stories are intended to captivate young readers and impart moral lessons through engaging narratives. The opening of the collection sets the stage for the tales by providing context about the revered storyteller Homer and the origins of ancient myths. It introduces the character of Theseus, born to the royal family of Trœzene, who longs to meet his father, King Ægeus of Athens. Theseus's mother, Æthra, describes the heroic journey awaiting her son, particularly emphasizing the significance of lifting a heavy stone to reveal a sword and sandals, relics from his father. The passage highlights Theseus's determination and growing strength as he prepares for his adventure, promising a journey filled with challenges, mythical creatures, and ultimately, his claim to his father's legacy.
