| Summary | "Classic Myths" by Mary Catherine Judd is a retelling of ancient myths designed for young readers, written in the early 20th century. The book draws from a wide variety of sources, including Greek, Norse, Roman, and Finnish mythology, and aims to capture the interest of children while educating them about traditional stories that explain natural phenomena and human experiences. The collection includes well-known tales like "How the Horses of the Sun Ran Away" and "Woden, God of the Northern Sky," presenting characters like Phaeton, Woden, and Diana. At the start of this collection, the author introduces readers to the intentions behind the stories, emphasizing their educational value in fostering a connection with nature and the universe. The first myth features Phaeton, who seeks to prove his lineage to his father, Apollo, by asking to drive the sun's chariot, an act that ultimately leads to tragic consequences. Following this tale, readers are given a glimpse into various other myths featuring gods, goddesses, and legendary heroes, such as Woden, Jupiter, and Diana, each contributing to a rich tapestry of storytelling that connects to stars, natural elements, and moral lessons. This opening serves to set the tone for the rest of the book, inviting readers to explore the captivating world of myths. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
