Heroes of Greek Mythology is Charles Kingsley's retelling of classic stories from Greek mythology. The work focuses primarily on the exploits of three heroic figures from Greek mythology, Perseus, Jason (and the Argonauts), and Theseus. Aimed at a younger audience, this classic collection of tales is rich with a spirit of adventure and fantasy that dominated early mythological tales. With nearly 60 illustrations reproduced from the original edition "Heroes of Greek Mythology" is a classic little book that will delight readers both young and old.
本书分三部,第一部的主人公是珀尔修斯,主要讲述了珀尔修斯杀死蛇发女怪和拯救埃塞俄比亚公主安德洛墨达的故事;第二部的主人公是伊阿宋,他和米努阿的英雄们一起乘坐阿尔戈号船到遥远的科尔基斯,历经艰辛,终于取回了金羊毛;第三部的主人公是古代雅典杰出的国王忒修斯,他除掉了为害雅典的许多魔头,还杀死了克里特岛上的人身牛头怪,最后咸为众人景仰的明君。这本书中还涉及到赫拉克勒斯、俄耳甫斯、米诺斯等著名神话人物。
The book contains the stories of the heroes of ancient Greece, told in fine poetic prose. It includes accounts of Perseus who slew Medusa the Gorgon, Jason who sought the Golden Fleece, and Theseus who slew the Minotaur. By preserving the Greek spirit in the retelling of these myths, Kingsley gives us plain strength and seriousness, courage, steadfastness, and beauty.
