Overview

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.
