Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Classic Myths, Vol. 1 of 6 Nobody to-day believes in these deities of class ical mythology. Yet every one, to have an ordi nary education, must learn about them. Why is it, when there are so many other things to know and to learn, that it is necessary for us all to study this old dead religion? It is because these Old stories are so beautiful in themselves that the greatest artists and writ ers ever since have been inspired by them and have constantly represented or referred to them in their works. If we would understand the most beautiful paintings and sculptures, the greatest literature of the world, or even the conversation of educated people, we must know our Greek gods and heroes. They have grown into the common thought of all time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Why, then, should the master of a roadhouse hang out a sign, letting folk know there is good drink within? Consider the feelings of the landlord, poor man. At once nettled and abashed, he exclaims: "Pray why should I stick a bough over my door? My tavern is well bespoke for miles about, and all the folk know I serve nothing but good, honest liquor, - and mighty comforting it is of a cold night, when the fire is bright on the hearth, or refreshing on a hot day either." "Nay, but," says the stranger, "how should a traveller know of this? You must advertise, man. Hang out your sign to attract the passer-by, and increase trade. Trade's the thing. You should be doing a driving business, with a cellar like yours." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They Show what things in their surroundings early engaged men's attention; what things seemed to them to need explanation; and how they explained them.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin of Language and Myths, Vol. 1 Some fourteen years ago I published a work entitled Myths traced to their Primary Source through Language; and though I was then, as it were, only feeling my way, I was not the less convinced that the discovery to which I laid claim was real; and, however strange it may now appear, I cannot help still entertaining the same Opinion. In that work I showed, as well as I could, how man must have first acquired the use of speech; and by the knowledge thence derived I was enabled to account for the ancient belief in the Divine origin of language, to trace letters to their birth, to discover the primary forms and meanings - hitherto unknown - of many words; and finally, to prove that the fables of the heathen mythology, as well as those of religion and ancient history, were first suggested by the several meanings that a name had at different times obtained. And I may here, perhaps, without stating too much in advance, give the reader some idea of this latter proof of the truth of my discovery. At the time the sun became a great object of worship over all the world, if one of the countless appellations by which it was then known hap pened also to designate some celebrated character of the past, the latter was at once revered as a divinity, even as the sun itself. And if his name, besides signifying the sun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zoological Mythology, Vol. 1 of 2: The Legends of Animals Since, then, the ancient myths still exist, although only in a fragmentary shape, in the popular traditions of Europe, these fragments, connected together, offer a precious material for comparison with the ancient forms, which the genius of poets and artists has coloured, but which could not be easily interpreted without the aid of the remaining traditions. The ancient myth often gives us the germ of many existing traditions, and, in the same manner, existing legends resolve the enigma of more than one ancient celestial personification. Their relation to each other is almost immediate, and the demonstration of this is the precise object of the science in the interest of which I now offer my first modest contribution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Muses Pageant, Vol. 1: Myths Legends of Ancient Greece The title of this book, the M uses' Pageant, may serve to indicate its scope and aim. Just as, in the spectacles that have lately become popular among us, the heroes and heroines of our island story pass over the scene in their habits as they lived; so, in these pages, the divine and human figures of the Greek Mythology are presented after a fashion which, it is hoped, may bring them more vividly before the mind's eye. The promoters of our modern English pageants lay stress on their value as Object lessons in national or local history; and this collection of the myths of ancient Hellas has been made with a kindred purpose - to give the general reader a bird's-eye View, so to speak, of the realms of gold.

Book excerpt: The Greek myths are amongst the best stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis. Spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry's Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance.
