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.

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.
