Project Gutenberg 2008-03-28 Public domain in the USA. 185 Marshall, Logan 1884 1937 Howard-Smith, Logan Famous Tales of Fact and Fancy Myths and Legends of the Nations of the World Retold for Boys and Girls E-text prepared by Sigal Alon, Marcia Brooks, Sunflower, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Famous Tales of Fact and Fancy" by Logan Marshall is a collection of myths and legends retold for a young audience, likely written in the early 20th century. This compilation seeks to introduce children to the rich tapestry of ancient narratives from various cultures, characterizing the essence of human experience, morality, and inspiration through timeless stories. The opening of the collection provides context for the tales to come, emphasizing the significance of these myths in shaping civilizations and human understanding. It begins with the story of Prometheus, illustrating the Titan's quest to aid humanity by stealing fire from the gods, depicting themes of sacrifice and defiance against divine authority. Prometheus's subsequent punishment, alongside the creation of Pandora and the release of evils into the world, sets a dramatic tone. These initial myths frame the collection's exploration of human virtues, vices, and the mythical influences that shaped cultures throughout history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
