For thetreat$ent o" the $yths in ancient art, the teacher is re"erred to the nu$erous pertinent illustrationsin au$eister's  en%m:ler des %lassischen Altertums, or the sa$e editor's  $ilder aus dem

 (riechischen und rmischen Altertum f<r 3ch<ler , the latter o" which contains the cuts o" the largerwor!, and is so cheap and so use"ul that it ought to lie on the des! o" every teacher o" Gree! or6atin.

 INTRODUCTORY NOTE 

  #he Fabulae Faciles, or 'asy /tories.' are "our Gree! $yths retold in 6atin, not by a Ro$anwriter, however, but by an nglish$an, who believed that they would a""ord interesting and

 pleasant reading "or young "ol!s who were just beginning the study o" the 6atin language. y $ythis $eant an i$aginative tale that has been handed down by tradition "ro$ re$ote antiDuityconcerning supernatural beings and events. /uch tales are co$$on a$ong all pri$itive peoples,and are by the$ accepted as true. #hey owe their origin to no single author, but grow up as theuntutored i$agination strives to e-plain to itsel" the operations o" nature and the $ysteries o" li"e,or a$uses itsel" with stories o" the brave e-ploits o" heroic ancestors.  #he $ost beauti"ul and delight"ul o" all $yths are those that have co$e down to us in there$ains o" the literature and the art o" ancient Greece and Ro$e they are also the $ost i$portant tous, "or $any o" the great $asterpieces o" nglish literature and o" $odern art have been inspired bythe$ and cannot be understood and appreciated by one ignorant o" classical $ythology.  ?" this $ythology the Fabulae Faciles give but a s$all part. " you wish to !now $ore o"the subject, you should read Gayley's The 5lassic +yths in En(lish Literature, Guerber's +yths of

'reece and 7ome, or the boo!s by Kingsiey, Co-, Church, and Francillon $entioned earlier.

 PERSEUS 

   Acrisius, an ancient %in( of Ar(os, had been 2arned by an oracle that he should perish bythe hand of his (randson= .n disco"erin(, therefore, that his dau(hter anae had (i"en birth to a

 son, Acrisius endea"ored to escape his fate by settin( both mother and child adrift on the sea= They

the country of 5epheus= At len(th he returned to 3erīphos, and turned Polydectes to stone by
