The Classic Myths in English Literature and in Art

Charles Mills Gayley

  1. Based originally on Bulfinch’s Age of Fable (1855). Classroom text from Gayley, Professor of the English Language and Literature in the University of California. From the Preface: In the Commentary four things have been attempted: first, an explanation, under each section, of ordinary textual difficulties; second, an unpretentious exposition of the myth or a brief statement of the more evident interpretations advanced by philologists or ethnologists; third, an indication of certain additional poems or verses that illustrate the myth; fourth, special mention of such masterpieces of ancient and modern sculpture and painting as may serve to introduce the student or the general reader to a field of aesthetic profit neglected by the great mass of our people.
