"Half a Hundred Hero Tales of Ulysses and The Men of Old" edited by Francis Storr is a collection of classical stories written in the early 20th century. The compilation includes retellings of myths and legends from ancient Greek and Roman sources, focusing on tales that highlight heroes and deities, including notable characters like Ulysses, Proserpine, Hercules, and Eros. This captivating anthology aims to present timeless narratives that continue to resonate with young readers and adults alike. The opening of the work presents a preface that sets the stage for the anthology, explaining the intent behind curating these classical tales. It reflects on the ageless appeal of Greek mythology, noting how the stories have been told and adapted over centuries, and how each retelling brings a fresh perspective. The subsequent stories begin with "Pluto and Proserpine," a myth exploring themes of love and loss, and transitions into other beloved legends such as "Pan and Syrinx" and "The Story of Phaeton." This opening portion hints at the rich tapestry of human emotion, adventure, and divine interplay that characterizes these ancient narratives, appealing to readers interested in mythology and the moral lessons encapsulated within these timeless tales.
