This book is retelling of the myths of Perseus, Jason and the Argonauts, and Theseus for young adults, originally published circa 1856. Kingsley is best known as the author of Water Babies. Although this is not the first time this text has appeared on the Internet, this is the only version with the complete set of Squire and Mars black and white and four-color art-deco illustrations. This includes two illustrations censored from later editions, probably because of female nudity.THE HEROES: GREEK FAIRY TALES FOR MY CHILDRENTABLE OF CONTENTSPREFACEThe First Story—PerseusPART ONE: How Perseus and His Mother Came to SeriphosPART TWO: How Perseus Vowed a Rash VowPART FOUR: How Perseus Came to the ÆthiopsPART FIVE: HOW PERSEUS CAME HOME AGAINThe Second Story--The ArgonautsPART ONE: How the Centaur Trained the Heroes on PelionPART TWO: How Jason Lost His Sandal in AnaurosPART THREE: How They Built the Ship Argo in IolcosPART FOUR: How the Argonauts Sailed to ColchisPART FIVE: How the Argonauts Were Driven into the Unknown SeaPART SIX: What was the end of the Heroes?The Third Story—TheseusPART ONE: How Theseus Lifted the StonePART TWO: How Theseus Slew the Devourers of MenPART FOUR: How Theseus Fell By His PrideNOTE TO THE READER: ORIGINS OF THE GODS NAMED IN ASTROLOGYMercury: The God’s MessengerVenus: The Goddess of Love and BeautyMars: The God of WarJupiter: King of the Roman GodsSaturn: The God of HarvestUranus: The God of the SkyNeptune: The God of the SeaPluto: The God of Wealth
