This 1856 retelling of the Greek myths for children includes “How Perseus Vowed a Rash Vow,” “How Perseus Slew the Gorgon,” “How the Centaur Trained the Heroes on Pelion,” “How the Argonauts Were Driven into the Unknown Sea,” “How Theseus Slew the Minotaur,” and other stories. Kingsley’s child-oriented language gains richness from his true love for Greek mythology.
