Gods and Heroes; or, The Kingdom of Jupiter

by R. E. Francillon

This book features the retelling of a number of Greek and Roman myths and legends. After introducing the major gods, the author recounts important legends, including those of Orpheus, Perseus, Theseus, Jason, and Hercules. Although many of the Roman gods were adopted from Greek mythology, this book uses Roman rather than Greek nomenclature. It is therefore an appropriate supplement when studying Roman History.
