Reader's note

This stunning edition of Classic Myth and Legend by A.R. Hope Moncrieff will look beautiful in any home library with its decorative green and gold design! This volume deals with the famous legendary fictions of Ancient Greece, that have furnished so many themes and allusions to modern authors. The origin of those stories and the nature of their mythological or dubiously historical personages are dealt with in an Introduction. The stories themselves are presented in simple outline, illustrated here and there by purple passages from our own poets and at the end it has seemed best to give a few legends in the shape of the noble verse that has embalmed them for us.
