PREFACE

Perhaps no other stories have ever been told so

ofen or listened to with so much pleasure as the classictales o ancient Greece For many ages they have beena source o delight to young people and old to theignorant and the learned to all who love to hear aboutand contemplate things mysterious beautiul andgrand Tey have become so incorporated into our

language and thought and so interwoven with ourliterature that we could not do away with them now iwe would Tey are a portion o our heritage rom the

distant past and they orm perhaps as important a parto our intellectual lie as they did o that o the peopleamong whom they originated

Tat many o these tales should be read by children

at an early age no intelligent person will deny Suffi cientreason or this is to be ound in the real pleasure thatevery child derives rom their perusal and in thepreparation o this volume no other reason has beenconsidered I have here attempted to tell a ew stories

o Jupiter and his mighty company and o some o the

old Greek heroes simply as stories nothing more I havecareully avoided every suggestion o interpretationAttempts at analysis and explanation will always prove



atal to a childrsquos appreciation and enjoyment o suchstories o inculcate the idea that these tales are merely

descriptions o certain natural phenomena expressedin narrative and poetic orm is to deprive them otheir highest charm it is like turning precious gold

into utilitarian iron it is changing a delightul romance

into a dull scienti1047297c treatise Te wise teacher will takeheed not to be guilty o such an error

It will be observed that while each o the stories in

this volume is wholly independent o the others and maybe read without any knowledge o those which precede

it there is nevertheless a certain continuity rom the

1047297rst to the last giving to the collection a completenesslike that o a single narrative In order that the children

o our own country and time may be the better able

to read these stories in the light in which they were

narrated long ago I have told them in simple languagekeeping the supernatural element as ar as possible inthe background and nowhere reerring to Jupiter and

his mighty company as gods I have hoped thus to reethe narrative still more rom everything that mightdetract rom its interest simply as a story

PERSONS AND PLACES MENTIONED



1

JUPITER AND HIS

MIGHTY COMPANY

A 983148983151983150983143 time ago when the world was much youngerthan it is now people told and believed a great many

wonderul stories about wonderul things which neitheryou nor I have ever seen Tey ofen talked about a

certain Mighty Being called Jupiter or Zeus who wasking o the sky and the earth and they said that he

sat most o the time amid the clouds on the top o a very high mountain where he could look down and

see everything that was going on in the earth beneathHe liked to ride on the storm-clouds and hurl burningthunderbolts right and lef among the trees and rocksand he was so very very mighty that when he nodded

the earth quaked the mountains trembled and smoked

the sky grew black and the sun hid his ace

Jupiter had two brothers both o them terribleellows but not nearly so great as himsel Te nameo one o them was Neptune or Poseidon and he was

the king o the sea He had a glittering golden palace ar

down in the deep sea-caves where the 1047297shes live and the

red coral grows and whenever he was angry the waveswould rise mountain high and the storm-winds would

OLD GREEK STORIES

howl earully and the sea would try to break over theland and men called him the Shaker o the Earth

Te other brother o Jupiter was a sad pale-acedbeing whose kingdom was underneath the earth wherethe sun never shone and where there was darkness andweeping and sorrow all the time His name was Pluto

or Aidoneus and his country was called the LowerWorld or the Land o Shadows or Hades Men said

that whenever any one died Pluto would send hismessenger or Shadow Leader to carry that one down

into his cheerless kingdom and or that reason they

never spoke well o him but thought o him only asthe enemy o lie

A great number o other Mighty Beings lived with

Jupiter amid the clouds on the mountain topmdashso many

that I can name a very ew only Tere was Venus thequeen o love and beauty who was airer by ar than any

woman that you or I have ever seen Tere was Athenaor Minerva the queen o the air who gave people

wisdom and taught them how to do very many useulthings Tere was Juno the queen o earth and sky who

sat at the right hand o Jupiter and gave him all kinds oadvice Tere was Mars the great warrior whose delight

was in the din o battle Tere was Mercury the swifmessenger who had wings on his cap and shoes andwho 1047298ew rom place to place like the summer clouds

when they are driven beore the wind Tere was Vulcan

a skillul blacksmith who had his orge in a burning

mountain and wrought many wonderul things o ironand copper and gold And besides these there were



3

JUPITER AND HIS MIGHTY COMPANY

many others about whom you will learn by and by and

about whom men told strange and beautiul stories

Tey lived in glittering golden mansions high upamong the cloudsmdashso high indeed that the eyes o men

could never see them But they could look down and

see what men were doing and ofentimes they were

said to leave their lofy homes and wander unknownacross the land or over the sea

And o all these Mighty Folk Jupiter was by ar themightiest



4

THE GOLDEN AGE

J983157983152983145983156983141983154 and his Mighty Folk had not always dwelt amid

the clouds on the mountain top In times long past awonderul amily called itans had lived there and hadruled over all the world Tere were twelve o themmdashsix

brothers and six sistersmdashand they said that their atherwas the Sky and their mother the Earth Tey had the

orm and looks o men and women but they were much

larger and ar more beautiul

Te name o the youngest o these itans was Saturnand yet he was so very old that men ofen called himFather ime He was the king o the itans and so o

course was the king o all the earth besides

Men were never so happy as they were during

Saturnrsquos reign It was the true Golden Age then Tespringtime lasted all the year Te woods and meadows

were always ull o blossoms and the music o singingbirds was heard every day and every hour It was

summer and autumn too at the same time Apples

and 1047297gs and oranges always hung ripe rom the treesand there were purple grapes on the vines and melons

and berries o every kind which the people had but topick and eat

O course nobody had to do any kind o work in



5

THE GOLDEN AGE

that happy time Tere was no such thing as sickness orsorrow or old age Men and women lived or hundreds

and hundreds o years and never became gray orwrinkled or lame but were always handsome and young

Tey had no need o houses or there were no cold days

nor storms nor anything to make them araid

Nobody was poor or everybody had the same

precious thingsmdashthe sunlight the pure air the

wholesome water o the springs the grass or a carpetthe blue sky or a roo the ruits and 1047298owers o the

woods and meadows So o course no one was richerthan another and there was no money nor any locksor bolts or everybody was everybodyrsquos riend and no

man wanted to get more o anything than his neighbors

had

When these happy people had lived long enough

they ell asleep and their bodies were seen no more Tey1047298itted away through the air and over the mountainsand across the sea to a 1047298owery land in the distant

west And some men say that even to this day they

are wandering happily hither and thither about the

earth causing babies to smile in their cradles easing theburdens o the toilworn and sick and blessing mankind

everywhere

What a pity it is that this Golden Age should havecome to an end But it was Jupiter and his brothers who

brought about the sad change

It is hard to believe it but men say that Jupiter wasthe son o the old itan king Saturn and that he was

hardly a year old when he began to plot how he might



6

OLD GREEK STORIES

wage war against his ather As soon as he was grownup he persuaded his brothers Neptune and Pluto and

his sisters Juno Ceres and Vesta to join him andthey vowed that they would drive the itans rom the

earth

Ten ollowed a long and terrible war But Jupiterhad many mighty helpers A company o one-eyed

monsters called Cyclopes were kept busy all the time

orging thunderbolts in the 1047297re o burning mountainsTree other monsters each with a hundred hands were

called in to throw rocks and trees against the stronghold

o the itans and Jupiter himsel hurled his sharplightning darts so thick and ast that the woods wereset on 1047297re and the water in the rivers boiled with the

heat

O course good quiet old Saturn and his brothersand sisters could not hold out always against such oesas these At the end o ten years they had to give up and

beg or peace Tey were bound in chains o the hardest

rock and thrown into a prison in the Lower World andthe Cyclopes and the hundred-handed monsters were

sent there to be their jailers and to keep guard overthem orever

Ten men began to grow dissatis1047297ed with their lot

Some wanted to be rich and own all the good things inthe world Some wanted to be kings and rule over theothers Some who were strong wanted to make slaves

o those who were weak Some broke down the ruittrees in the woods lest others should eat o the ruitSome or mere sport hunted the timid animals which



7

THE GOLDEN AGE

had always been their riends Some even killed thesepoor creatures and ate their 1047298esh or ood

At last instead o everybody being everybodyrsquosriend everybody was everybodyrsquos oe

So in all the world instead o peace there waswar instead o plenty there was starvation instead oinnocence there was crime and instead o happiness

there was misery

And that was the way in which Jupiter made himselso mighty and that was the way in which the GoldenAge came to an end



8

THE STORY OF PROMETHEUS

I HOW FIRE WAS GIVEN TO MEN

I983150 those old old times there lived two brothers who

were not like other men nor yet like those Mighty Oneswho lived upon the mountain top Tey were the sons

o one o those itans who had ought against Jupiterand been sent in chains to the strong prison-house othe Lower World

Te name o the elder o these brothers was

Prometheus or Forethought or he was always thinking

o the uture and making things ready or what mighthappen to-morrow or next week or next year or it may

be in a hundred years to come Te younger was called

Epimetheus or Aferthought or he was always so busy

thinking o yesterday or last year or a hundred yearsago that he had no care at all or what might come topass afer a while

For some cause Jupiter had not sent these brothersto prison with the rest o the itans

Prometheus did not care to live amid the clouds

on the mountain top He was too busy or that Whilethe Mighty Folk were spending their time in idlenessdrinking nectar and eating ambrosia he was intent



9


upon plans or making the world wiser and better than

it had ever been beore

He went out amongst men to live with them andhelp them or his heart was 1047297lled with sadness whenhe ound that they were no longer happy as they had

been during the golden days when Saturn was king Ah

how very poor and wretched they were He ound them

living in caves and in holes o the earth shivering with

the cold because there was no 1047297re dying o starvationhunted by wild beasts and by one anothermdashthe most

miserable o all living creatures

ldquoI they only had 1047297rerdquo said Prometheus to himselldquothey could at least warm themselves and cook their

ood and afer a while they could learn to make toolsand build themselves houses Without 1047297re they are

worse off than the beastsrdquo

Ten he went boldly to Jupiter and begged him togive 1047297re to men that so they might have a little comortthrough the long dreary months o winter

ldquoNot a spark will I giverdquo said Jupiter ldquoNo indeed

Why i men had 1047297re they might become strong andwise like ourselves and afer a while they would drive

us out o our kingdom Let them shiver with cold and

let them live like the beasts It is best or them to bepoor and ignorant that so we Mighty Ones may thrive

and be happyrdquo

Prometheus made no answer but he had set his

heart on helping mankind and he did not give up Heturned away and lef Jupiter and his mighty companyorever



10

OLD GREEK STORIES

As he was walking by the shore o the sea he ound a

reed or as some say a tall stalk o ennel growing and

when he had broken it off he saw that its hollow centerwas 1047297lled with a dry sof pith which would burn slowly

and keep on 1047297re a long time He took the long stalk inhis hands and started with it towards the dwelling othe sun in the ar east

ldquoMankind shall have 1047297re in spite o the tyrant who

sits on the mountain toprdquo he saidHe reached the place o the sun in the early morning

just as the glowing golden orb was rising rom the earth

and beginning his daily journey through the sky Hetouched the end o the long reed to the 1047298ames and

the dry pith caught on 1047297re and burned slowly Tenhe turned and hastened back to his own land carrying

with him the precious spark hidden in the hollow center

o the plant

He called some o the shivering men rom theircaves and built a 1047297re or them and showed them howto warm themselves by it and how to build other 1047297res

rom the coals Soon there was a cheerul blaze in every

rude home in the land and men and women gatheredround it and were warm and happy and thankulto Prometheus or the wonderul gif which he had

brought to them rom the sun

It was not long until they learned to cook their ood

and so to eat like men instead o like beasts Tey began

at once to leave off their wild and savage habits andinstead o lurking in the dark places o the world they



11


came out into the open air and the bright sunlight and

were glad because lie had been given to them

Afer that Prometheus taught them little by little athousand things He showed them how to build houseso wood and stone and how to tame sheep and cattleand make them useul and how to plow and sow and

reap and how to protect themselves rom the stormso winter and the beasts o the woods Ten he showed

them how to dig in the earth or copper and iron andhow to melt the ore and how to hammer it into shape

and ashion rom it the tools and weapons which theyneeded in peace and war and when he saw how happythe world was becoming he cried out

ldquoA new Golden Age shall come brighter and betterby ar than the oldrdquo

II HOW DISEASES AND CARES

CAME AMONG MEN

Tings might have gone on very happily indeed

and the Golden Age might really have come again had

it not been or Jupiter But one day when he chancedto look down upon the earth he saw the 1047297res burningand the people living in houses and the 1047298ocks eedingon the hills and the grain ripening in the 1047297elds and

this made him very angry

ldquoWho has done all thisrdquo he asked

And some one answered ldquoPrometheusrdquo

ldquoWhat that young itanrdquo he cried ldquoWell I will



12

OLD GREEK STORIES

punish him in a way that will make him wish I had

shut him up in the prison-house with his kinsolk But

as or those puny men let them keep their 1047297re I willmake them ten times more miserable than they werebeore they had itrdquo

O course it would be easy enough to deal withPrometheus at any time and so Jupiter was in no

great haste about it He made up his mind to distress

mankind 1047297rst and he thought o a plan or doing it ina very strange roundabout way

In the 1047297rst place he ordered his blacksmith Vulcan

whose orge was in the crater o a burning mountainto take a lump o clay which he gave him and mold itinto the orm o a woman Vulcan did as he was bidden

and when he had 1047297nished the image he carried it up

to Jupiter who was sitting among the clouds with allthe Mighty Folk around him It was nothing but a mere

lieless body but the great blacksmith had given it aorm more perect than that o any statue that has ever

been made

ldquoCome nowrdquo said Jupiter ldquolet us all give some

goodly gif to this womanrdquo and he began by givingher lie

Ten the others came in their turn each with a gifor the marvelous creature One gave her beauty and

another a pleasant voice and another good mannersand another a kind heart and another skill in many

arts and lastly some one gave her curiosity Ten theycalled her Pandora which means the all-gifed because

she had received gifs rom them all



13


Pandora was so beautiul and so wondrously gifedthat no one could help loving her When the Mighty Folk

had admired her or a time they gave her to Mercurythe light-ooted and he led her down the mountain

side to the place where Prometheus and his brother

were living and toiling or the good o mankind He

met Epimetheus 1047297rst and said to him

ldquoEpimetheus here is a beautiul woman whom

Jupiter has sent to you to be your wierdquoPrometheus had ofen warned his brother to

beware o any gif that Jupiter might send or he knew

that the mighty tyrant could not be trusted but whenEpimetheus saw Pandora how lovely and wise she washe orgot all warnings and took her home to live withhim and be his wie

Pandora was very happy in her new home and even

Prometheus when he saw her was pleased with her

loveliness She had brought with her a golden casketwhich Jupiter had given her at parting and which

he had told her held many precious things but wiseAthena the queen o the air had warned her never

never to open it nor look at the things inside

ldquoTey must be jewelsrdquo she said to hersel and thenshe thought o how they would add to her beauty i

only she could wear them ldquoWhy did Jupiter give themto me i I should never use them nor so much as look

at themrdquo she asked

Te more she thought about the golden casket themore curious she was to see what was in it and every



ldquoE983152983145983149983141983156983144983141983157983155 983144983141983154983141 983145983155 983137 983138983141983137983157983156983145983142983157983148 983159983151983149983137983150rdquo

day she took it down rom its shel and elt o the lidand tried to peer inside o it without opening it

ldquoWhy should I care or what Athena told merdquo shesaid at last ldquoShe is not beautiul and jewels would be o

no use to her I think that I will look at them at any rate

Athena will never know Nobody else will ever knowrdquo

She opened the lid a very little just to peep inside

All at once there was a whirring rustling sound and

beore she could shut it down again out 1047298ew tenthousand strange creatures with death-like aces and

gaunt and dreadul orms such as nobody in all the

world had ever seen Tey 1047298uttered or a little while

about the room and then 1047298ew away to 1047297nd dwelling-places wherever there were homes o men Tey were

diseases and cares or up to that time mankind had

not had any kind o sickness nor elt any troubles omind nor worried about what the morrow might bring

orth

Tese creatures 1047298ew into every house and withoutany one seeing them nestled down in the bosoms

o men and women and children and put an end to

all their joy and ever since that day they have been1047298itting and creeping unseen and unheard over all theland bringing pain and sorrow and death into every

household

I Pandora had not shut down the lid so quickly

things would have gone much worse But she closed it

just in time to keep the last o the evil creatures romgetting out Te name o this creature was Forebodingand although he was almost hal out o the casket



16

OLD GREEK STORIES

Pandora pushed him back and shut the lid so tight

that he could never escape I he had gone out into the

world men would have known rom childhood justwhat troubles were going to come to them every day

o their lives and they would never have had any joyor hope so long as they lived

And this was the way in which Jupiter sought to

make mankind more miserable than they had been

beore Prometheus had beriended them

III HOW THE FRIEND OF MEN WAS

PUNISHED

Te next thing that Jupiter did was to punish

Prometheus or stealing 1047297re rom the sun He bade twoo his servants whose names were Strength and Forceto seize the bold itan and carry him to the topmostpeak o the Caucasus Mountains Ten he sent theblacksmith Vulcan to bind him with iron chains and

etter him to the rocks so that he could not move handor oot

Vulcan did not like to do this or he was a riend oPrometheus and yet he did not dare to disobey And sothe great riend o men who had given them 1047297re and

lifed them out o their wretchedness and shown themhow to live was chained to the mountain peak and

there he hung with the storm-winds whistling always

around him and the pitiless hail beating in his aceand 1047297erce eagles shrieking in his ears and tearing hisbody with their cruel claws Yet he bore all his sufferings



17


without a groan and never would he beg or mercy orsay that he was sorry or what he had done

Year afer year and age afer age Prometheus hungthere Now and then old Helios the driver o the sun carwould look down upon him and smile now and then1047298ocks o birds would bring him messages rom ar-off

lands once the ocean nymphs came and sang wonderul

songs in his hearing and ofentimes men looked up to

him with pitying eyes and cried out against the tyrantwho had placed him there

Ten once upon a time a white cow passed that

waymdasha strangely beautiul cow with large sad eyesand a ace that seemed almost human She stoppedand looked up at the cold gray peak and the giant bodywhich was chained there Prometheus saw her and

spoke to her kindly

ldquoI know who you arerdquo he said ldquoYou are Io who wasonce a air and happy maiden in distant Argos and

now because o the tyrant Jupiter and his jealous queen

you are doomed to wander rom land to land in that

unhuman orm But do not lose hope Go on to the

southward and then to the west and afer many daysyou shall come to the great river Nile Tere you shallagain become a maiden but airer and more beautiul

than beore and you shall become the wie o the kingo that land and shall give birth to a son rom whomshall spring the hero who will break my chains and set

me ree As or me I bide in patience the day which noteven Jupiter can hasten or delay Farewellrdquo

Poor Io would have spoken but she could not Her



18

OLD GREEK STORIES

sorrowul eyes looked once more at the suffering heroon the peak and then she turned and began her long

and tiresome journey to the land o the NileAges passed and at last a great hero whose name

was Hercules came to the land o the Caucasus In spite

o Jupiterrsquos dread thunderbolts and earul storms osnow and sleet he climbed the rugged mountain peak

he slew the 1047297erce eagles that had so long tormented the

helpless prisoner on those craggy heights and with amighty blow he broke the etters o Prometheus and

set the grand old hero ree

ldquoI knew that you would comerdquo said Prometheus

ldquoen generations ago I spoke o you to Io who wasaferwards the queen o the land o the Nilerdquo

ldquoAnd Iordquo said Hercules ldquowas the mother o the racerom which I am sprungrdquo



19

THE FLOOD

I983150 those very early times there was a man named

Deucalion and he was the son o Prometheus He wasonly a common man and not a itan like his great ather

and yet he was known ar and wide or his good deedsand the uprightness o his lie His wiersquos name wasPyrrha and she was one o the airest o the daughters

o men

Afer Jupiter had bound Prometheus on MountCaucasus and had sent diseases and cares into the world

men became very very wicked Tey no longer built

houses and tended their 1047298ocks and lived together in

peace but every man was at war with his neighbor andthere was no law nor saety in all the land Tings werein much worse case now than they had been beore

Prometheus had come among men and that was justwhat Jupiter wanted But as the world became wickederand wickeder every day he began to grow weary oseeing so much bloodshed and o hearing the cries othe oppressed and the poor

we are in worse danger than beore Tere is only onething to be done with them and that is to destroy them

every onerdquoSo he sent a great rain-storm upon the earth and

it rained day and night or a long time and the sea was1047297lled to the brim and the water ran over the land and

covered 1047297rst the plains and then the orests and then the

hills But men kept on 1047297ghting and robbing even while

the rain was pouring down and the sea was coming upover the land

No one but Deucalion the son o Prometheus was

ready or such a storm He had never joined in any othe wrong doings o those around him and had ofentold them that unless they lef off their evil ways there

would be a day o reckoning in the end Once every year

he had gone to the land o the Caucasus to talk withhis ather who was hanging chained to the mountainpeak

ldquoTe day is comingrdquo said Prometheus ldquowhen Jupiterwill send a 1047298ood to destroy mankind rom the earth

Be sure that you are ready or it my sonrdquo

And so when the rain began to all Deucalion drew

rom its shelter a boat which he had built or just sucha time He called air Pyrrha his wie and the twosat in the boat and were 1047298oated saely on the rising

waters Day and night day and night I cannot tell howlong the boat drifed hither and thither Te tops o the

trees were hidden by the 1047298ood and then the hills andthen the mountains and Deucalion and Pyrrha couldsee nothing anywhere but water water watermdashand

THE FLOOD

they knew that all the people in the land had been

drowned

Afer a while the rain stopped alling and theclouds cleared away and the blue sky and the goldensun came out overhead Ten the water began to sink

very ast and to run off the land towards the sea and

early the very next day the boat was drifed high upon a

mountain called Parnassus and Deucalion and Pyrrha

stepped out upon the dry land Afer that it was only ashort time until the whole country was laid bare and

the trees shook their leay branches in the wind andthe 1047297elds were carpeted with grass and 1047298owers morebeautiul than in the days beore the 1047298ood

But Deucalion and Pyrrha were very sad or they

knew that they were the only persons who were lef

alive in all the land At last they started to walk downthe mountain side towards the plain wondering what

would become o them now all alone as they were in the

wide world While they were talking and trying to think

what they should do they heard a voice behind themTey turned and saw a noble young prince standing on

one o the rocks above them He was very tall with blueeyes and yellow hair Tere were wings on his shoes and

on his cap and in his hands he bore a staff with goldenserpents twined around it Tey knew at once that hewas Mercury the swif messenger o the Mighty Onesand they waited to hear what he would say

ldquoIs there anything that you wishrdquo he asked ldquoellme and you shall have whatever you desirerdquo

ldquoWe should like above all thingsrdquo said Deucalion

OLD GREEK STORIES

ldquoto see this land ull o people once more or withoutneighbors and riends the world is a very lonely place

indeedrdquoldquoGo on down the mountainrdquo said Mercury ldquoand

as you go cast the bones o your mother over your

shoulders behind yourdquo and with these words he leaped

into the air and was seen no more

ldquoWhat did he meanrdquo asked Pyrrha

ldquoSurely I do not knowrdquo said Deucalion ldquoBut let usthink a moment Who is our mother i it is not the

Earth rom whom all living things have sprung Andyet what could he mean by the bones o our motherrdquo

ldquoPerhaps he meant the stones o the earthrdquo saidPyrrha ldquoLet us go on down the mountain and as we

go let us pick up the stones in our path and throw themover our shoulders behind usrdquo

ldquoIt is rather a silly thing to dordquo said Deucalion ldquoandyet there can be no harm in it and we shall see whatwill happenrdquo

And so they walked on down the steep slope o

Mount Parnassus and as they walked they pickedup the loose stones in their way and cast them over

their shoulders and strange to say the stones whichDeucalion threw sprang up as ull-grown men strong

and handsome and brave and the stones which Pyrrhathrew sprang up as ull-grown women lovely and

air When at last they reached the plain they oundthemselves at the head o a noble company o human

beings all eager to serve them

So Deucalion became their king and he set them in

to do many useul things and the land was 1047297lled withpeople who were happier and ar better than those who
