Text file produced by Juliet Sutherland, Tonya Allen, and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders HTML file produced by David Widger "Old Greek Folk Stories Told Anew" by Josephine Preston Peabody is a collection of retold Greek myths and folk stories written during the late 19th century. This work seeks to revive and present ancient tales that capture the joys, sorrows, and moral lessons inherent in human experience, drawing upon characters and narratives from Greek mythology that remain influential in literature and culture. At the start of this collection, Peabody sets the stage for the enchanting tales ahead, emphasizing the deep connection between humanity and nature. The opening portion introduces Pan, the nature god, who celebrates his carefree life among rustic companions while recounting stories of transformed beings like Dryope, Echo, and Narcissus. These early narratives hint at the themes of love, loss, and transformation that underpin much of Greek mythology, preparing readers for a rich exploration of various characters and events to follow, including curious fables about other notable figures such as Prometheus and Midas, who grapple with the consequences of their desires and actions.
