E-text prepared by Tor Martin Kristiansen, Michael, Sam W.,
"The Student's Mythology" by Catherine Ann White is a comprehensive educational text written in the late 19th century. As a compendium, it covers various mythologies from cultures such as Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and more, aimed specifically at students in schools and academies. The book seeks to present these ancient myths in an accessible manner, prioritizing clarity and simplicity while avoiding intricate debates on comparative mythology. At the start of the work, the author introduces the concept of mythology, defining it as a collection of allegories that convey moral and religious truths, as well as historical narratives concerning gods and heroes. The introduction emphasizes the importance of mythology in understanding ancient literature and art, asserting that a grounding in these stories is crucial for a well-rounded education. Additionally, the early chapter outlines the different classes of gods, beginning with celestial deities such as Jupiter and Apollo, and segues into their roles and stories, setting the stage for deeper exploration throughout the rest of the text.
