Baker is a collection of mythological tales written in the early 20th century. This anthology captures the enchanting narratives of gods, heroes, and legendary figures from ancient Greek and Roman folklore. The stories reflect timeless themes of love, ambition, and the human condition, centered around a diverse cast of characters including deities like Jupiter, Apollo, and Venus, as well as mortals such as Pandora and Deucalion. The opening of the collection begins with the depiction of Mount Olympus, where Jupiter, the king of the gods, observes humanity's actions from his celestial throne. It describes the mythical origins of man through Prometheus, who boldly steals fire from the gods to benefit humanity, and the subsequent punishment he faces for his transgression. This portion sets the tone for the book, establishing a world rich in divine influence and moral lessons, foreshadowing the various stories that unfold across the pages, including themes of creation, consequence, and the interplay between human desires and divine will.
