Most of the mythology books are boring. MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF ALL NATIONS is an attempt to solve this problem, by telling the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement. Rather is the book intended for those who, during their reading, frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning, and who care to read some old stories, through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know. Here, the Author presents Greek and Latin myths in a form adapted to modern taste (PROMETHEUS, THE FRIEND OF MAN, THE TWELVE LABORS OF HERCULES, THESEUS AND THE CENTAUR, THE SACK OF TROY...).
