Author’s Note
Many versions of the Greek myths exist as a result of their being
retold through the centuries. The stories in this book are generally
consistent with popular versions for this age group; however, they
have been adapted to fit the mini-book format and differ in parts
from other retellings. For example, the ending of “Curiosity and the
Box” offers a nontraditional interpretation of how hope survives.
