In Mythland (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from In Mythland My dear little friends: - A great many, many years ago, more years ago than you can count, there were some people living in a country called Greece that I think you will like to hear about. They were wise for those times, and knew how to make many beautiful things, but they did not know much about the ´´Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world, With the beautiful water around it curled,´´ nor much about the little country in which they lived; and they had many queer ideas. ´´Who takes care of all the things in the world?´´ they wondered. ´´One person could not do it, there must be a great many,´´ they thought. When a little boy asked his papa about it, the papa would say, ´´My child, there are many gods living on Mount Olympus, that high mountain you can see in the east. See, its top touches the blue sky. The gods have beautiful houses built of all manner of precious stones. They give us the things we need, fruit and grain for food, the beautiful flowers, the fish in the sea, the birds of the air, and the wild beasts in the forest. We must be kind and loving, my boy, like the dear gods.´´ Then perhaps he would tell his little boy of Jupiter, the king in that fair land among the clouds, and of Juno, the queen; of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom; and of Venus, the goddess of beauty.
