Annotation
Retells twelve tales from Greek mythology, including the stories of King Midas, Echo and Narcissus, the Golden Apples, and Cupid and Psyche.
Publisher's Weekly
This handsome collection consists of a dozen tales from Greek mythology, most drawn from Ovid's Metamorphoses , including the stories of Echo and Narcissus, Ceres and Proserpine, Cupid and Psyche, King Midas. Osborne's retellings are both lively and descriptive, while Howell's full-color, often iridescent illustrations set the scene and mood at the start of each tale. Taken together, they provide a solid and highly readable introduction to the major Greco-Roman gods and goddesses and the myths that have profoundly shaped Western thought and literature. Helpful back-matter includes a list of key characters, partial lexicon of modern words drawn from the myths, bibliography and index. Ages 7-11. (May)
Children's Literature
Osborne provides a wonderful retelling of a dozen myths including the lesser-known story of Ceyx and Alcyone and perennial favorites such as Echo and Narcissus, Cupid and Psyche. In the introduction, Osborne tells readers that many of these stories were used to explain the mysterious of nature and as entertainment. To illustrate, Ceyx, the king, is the son of the morning star and his wife Alcyone is the daughter of the king of the winds. When the king is lost at sea, he and his wife eventually metamorphose into sea gulls. The halcyon days are ones of calm when the winds no longer blow and the gulls sit on their nests. This delightful collection is derived from Ovid's Metamorpheses and the myths are given a glorious treatment with Howell's sensuous full-page illustrations. Narcissus is indeed beautiful. A added touch includes small black and white insets appropriate to story (seagulls, spider weaving a web, a narcissus flower). A section that lists the gods, goddesses, and mortals who wrote the myths using modern words with Greek origins, a bibliography and index round out the book. A good resource for home and libraries. - Marilyn Courtot
School Library Journal
Not a comprehensive collection, this book contains retellings of Apuleius' ``Cupid and Psyche'' and of 11 stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The prose is lively, the versions faithful, and each myth has a full-page, gold-warmed painting in a realistic but slightly Art Deco-archaic style. Roman names are used, with Greek equivalents given but no pronunciation key. A list of modern myth-related words classifies them as of ``Greek origins,'' though many (e.g., cereal) are patently from Latin roots; and some obvious choices (jovial, panic, psychology) are omitted. The brief introduction repeats the dubious idea that Greek myths ``explain'' nature, which in any case is not a help in understanding Ovid's reworkings. Many more stories (including those of Prometheus, Pandora, Deucalion and Pyrraha, Io, Niobe, Pygmalion, Oedipus, Bellerophon, Perseus, Heracles, Jason, Theseus, Odysseus, et. al. , all missing here) and illustrations can be found in the Macmillan Book of Greek Gods and Heroes (1985) or Gods, Men and Monsters from the Greek Myths (Schocken, 1982). --Patricia Dooley, University of Washington, Seattle |
