About this book

Prometheus carries a spark from the sun to help people warm themselves, cook food and build better homes. His dispute with Jupiter opens this anthology, translated and edited by Logan Marshall. The collection brings together tales of gods, heroes and legendary rulers, including Hercules, Beowulf, King Arthur, Siegfried and the Cid. Its contents draw on Greek, German, English and other sources, giving readers a range of traditions within one volume.

The stories also turn grand conflicts into conversations between family members. In the account of Iphigenia, Agamemnon weighs the demands of his army while his daughter greets him affectionately and asks why he is weeping. That exchange puts a child's trust beside a ruler's troubled responsibilities. Dedicated to children, the book offers an introduction to familiar figures from mythology and legend. Readers can follow the different ways these retellings connect courage, curiosity, loyalty and the power of the gods.
