About This Book
The volume collects simplified Latin narratives of classical myths—Perseus, Hercules, the Argonauts, and Ulysses—arranged to introduce beginners to continuous Latin reading. An introductory essay and pedagogical notes explain grading of difficulties and frequent use of vocabulary common to Caesar; each story is followed by explanatory notes, a vocabulary giving principal parts and derivations, and lists of related English literary and artistic treatments. Editorial revisions include marked long vowels and adjusted orthography; syntax comments address constructions such as the subjunctive and indirect discourse to ease the transition from elementary grammar into sustained Latin prose.
