Juliet Sutherland, Verity White and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Myths That Every Child Should Know" by Hamilton Wright Mabie is a collection of classic myths curated for young readers, likely written in the early 20th century. This work presents a selection of timeless myths from various cultures, aiming to introduce children to the rich tradition of storytelling and the lessons these tales convey. The emphasis is on presenting these stories in an accessible format that captures the imagination of children while imparting cultural and moral insights. At the start of the narrative, the introduction sets the stage for understanding myths as ancient stories that help explain the world through the lens of imagination and personification of natural elements. The opening chapter, "The Three Golden Apples," introduces Hercules, a hero on a quest to procure golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides, guarded by a hundred-headed dragon. This chapter highlights Hercules's bravery and determination as he seeks guidance from beautiful maidens after his arduous travels. The tale unfolds with encounters that emphasize both the challenges of his quest and the adventures that shape his heroic character, engaging readers in a world where mythological figures grapple with both fantastical creatures and grand quests.
