Myths and Legends of All Nations: Famous Stories from the Greek German English Spanish Scandinavian Danish French Russian Bohemian Italian and other sources (Illustrated)

Most of the mythology books are boring. MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF ALL NATIONS is an attempt to solve this problem by telling the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement. Rather is the book intended for those who during their reading frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning and who care to read some old stories through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know. Here the Author presents Greek and Latin myths in a form adapted to modern taste (PROMETHEUS THE FRIEND OF MAN THE TWELVE LABORS OF HERCULES THESEUS AND THE CENTAUR THE SACK OF TROY...). He also recounts famous stories from the English Spanish Scandinavian Danish French Russian Bohemian Italian and other sources (BEOWULF AND GRENDEL THE GOOD KING ARTHUR LOHENGRIN AND ELSA THE BEAUTIFUL COUNT ROLAND OF FRANCE THE CID...).
