Excerpt from A Manual of Mythology in the Form of Question and Answer

I hope that students who may have to use this little book will read the few sentences which I write by way of preface.

You may have heard the stories which are told about Apollo, or Prometheus, or Tantalus and you may have thought them uninteresting, or tiresome, or horrible. The deeds which they are said to have done may have seemed to you (as they seemed to many good men among the old Greeks and Romans) the deeds of savages; and you may have asked, Why should we learn these things at all, and what good will it do us to know them?
