Ten mythological heroes and stories from Greek mythology, for a delightful
overview of the fundamentals of our culture. This is a selection of the most
touching and inspiring stories from Ancient Greece; they have all inspired
countless works of art through the centuries, often come from even more
ancient myths, and are here retold in a detailed and lively manner. This
selection contains: The myth of Apollo and Daphne, about the revenge of the
cruel god Eros on Apollo; Atalanta, the story of the swiftest runner who ever
was; Echo and Narcissus, about a nymph who angered a god; Endymion, a shepherd
whose beauty made the goddess Diana fall in love; Icarus, this ageless story
of failure at the hands of pride; King Midas, the famous cautionary tale;
Orpheus and Eurydice, the ultimate tragic love story and one of the most
famous Greek myths; Phaeton, a similar story to that of Icarus about the pride
of wanting to be like a god; Pygmalion, a sculptor so skilled he fell in love
with one of his creations; and the death of Adonis, one of Greece's most
touching stories, in which a goddess hopelessly falls in love with a man whose
sole passion is hunting.
