This volume aims to present classic stories in a form accessible to young readers, encompassing themes of heroism, love, and the divine interplay of fate, with vibrant figures such as Oedipus, Psyche, and various gods making appearances. The beginning of the work introduces Greek mythology through the story of Oedipus's tragic journey from birth to kingship, emphasizing the themes of fate and identity. The narrative sets the stage in Thebes, depicting Oedipus’s birth, the curse placed upon him, and the unfolding events that lead him to confront both the Sphinx and his fated destiny. As he becomes entwined in the fabric of prophecies and tragic outcomes, Buckley's adaptation captures the essence of classical stories while making them relatable and engaging for younger readers. This setup hints at a rich exploration of intertwined destinies that offers both moral lessons and entertaining tales, appealing to those fascinated by mythology.
