Overview

Excerpt from Plato as a Narrator: A Study in the Myths As a nation, the Greeks were thoroughly steeped in table. In the nursery they doubtless learned the lore of birds and boasts; from their Bible - Ilomer - tlicy recited the deeds of legendary gods and heroes; and these stories, altered and enlarged, were again and again presented from the stage. In Aristophanes (wasps 1177, we see what a hold tables and stories had on the popular mind. Since to the Greeks the myths were not a body of fixed dogma, but a livingr organism. Plato could easily and with propriety invent tales of Egypt or any other country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
