A college student named Eustace Bright retells the old Greek myths to a crowd of children at Tanglewood in the Berkshires. Both of Hawthorne’s collections are joined here: Perseus and the Gorgon’s head, Midas and the golden touch, Pandora and Hercules, then Theseus and the Minotaur, the Pygmies, Cadmus and the dragon’s teeth, and Circe’s palace.
Hawthorne’s freely reshaped myths, both books in one volume, have introduced generations of children to the Greek legends. Download the free EPUB.
