Short retellings of Greek myths, opening with Pan and the wood-folk and moving through Midas, Prometheus and the flood, Orpheus and Eurydice, Icarus and Daedalus, Phaethon, Niobe, Alcestis, the Calydonian hunt, Atalanta’s race, Arachne and the tragedy of Oedipus. A poet’s ear keeps the language clear and the stories brief.
