Myths That Every Child Should Know

Synopsis

Myths are simply the blind beliefs of our ancestors which had been passed on to generations. While it cannot be simply ruled out as superstitious beliefs, it did help the ancestors to convey their experiences.

Story telling was the only thing for our ancestors to convey the world about their experiences. While we write scientific books every year to explain our world, our ancestors told stories to explain their world.

Compiled by the American essayist Hamilton Wright Mabie, this collection of Mythological stories contains fifteen stories; notable among them are The three golden apples, The pomegranate seeds, The golden touch, The dragon’s teeth, The miraculous pitcher, The paradise of children, and The quest of the hammer.
