Excerpt from Myths of Hellas, or Greek Tales, Told in German by Professor C. Witt Again, from the teacher's point Of view as well as the child's, there seems to be every reason in favour of presenting to them at an early age the stories of Greek mythology. There is first the Obvious fact that such reading trains and cultivates the imaginative faculties, and that it is good to vary the Arabian Nights and the German and Norse fairy-tales with such totally different material as the Greek stories. There are also other reasons arising from the altered position of Greek in education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Myths of Hellas, or Greek Tales, Told in German by Professor C. Witt The following collection of legends about the Greek gods and heroes, to which I have been asked to write a few words of introduction, is a translation of a little book by Professor C. Witt which has been received in Germany with great favour by the public and the press. This popularity has been due, not merely to the intrinsic beauty of the stories, but to the skill shown in the selection, and in the simplicity of the style. The last quality it has been the aim of the translator to retain in the English version; and the success of the book in Germany suggests a hope that the translation may become a favourite in this country. That there still exists a demand for some such book, notwithstanding the deserved popularity of Kingsley's 'Heroes,' Cox's Mythological Tales, and Church's Stories from Greek and Latin Writers, seems to be shown by the large number of encouraging letters received by the translator from persons engaged or interested in education.
