The translation from German of Heinrich Stoll's ancient myths was carried out for the first time in 1867. Then this book was not reprinted for a long time. The first volume of this unique electronic publication tells about the deities and heroes of Ancient Greece - Prometheus, Perseus, Daedalus, Orpheus, Eurydice, Hercules, Theseus, Jason, the Argonauts, etc. Poetic stories about the ancient Greek gods and heroes are presented in simple and understandable language, designed for For children, teenagers and adult readers interested in ancient Greek mythology, the stories are illustrated. One of the parts of the book is devoted to metamorphoses, i.e., the transformation of people and gods into animals, constellations, etc. It contains a touching story about the love of Cupid and Psyche (according to Apuleius), and tells about the exploits of Hercules and the campaign of Jason and the Argonauts. The second volume of the book contains tales of the Trojan War and the deities of Ancient Rome. The names of the heroes of the Trojan War became household names, and the expressions of Homer's poems became proverbial. Not only poets, but also historians and moral philosophers, in their research and reasoning, gave a prominent place to Troy and the Trojan War. Sculptors borrowed from the legends about this war subjects for their works, intended for decorating temples, public buildings, etc. In a word, the memory of Troy runs like a red thread through all ancient literature and through all ancient art, and through them it passed into our days, being constantly animated in one way or another.
