Description

Padraic Colum (au); Willy Pogany (il). Follow the strange & wondrous adventures of Jason & his Argonauts -- through uncharted waters where clashing rocks dash the sea, to shores where harpies with wings of birds & heads of women torment poor mortals. Listen to the songs of the Argonaut Orpheus, songs of the creation of Heaven & Earth, Zeus’s battle with the Titans, Pandora & her jar of troubles, Persephone in the Underworld, & the great labors of Hercules. This volume, with the stories retold for young readers by Padraic Colum (1881-1972), a poet, playwright, & a leader of the Irish Renaissance, was originally published in 1921. “Colum’s stirring telling of the Greek epics is still unequaled as an introduction to the classic myths for young readers.” B&W illustrations.
