This text presents the stories and legends of Ancient Greece in the form in which they were originally told. The storyteller in the age of Homer spread the myths of gods and heroes throughout the unlettered people in a primitive land. The itinerant storyteller at his best combined many talents: scholar, educator, linguist, poet and musician. The storyteller showed learning, curiousity and judgement. This text retells the tales for the modern reader evoking the spirit of the itinerant storyteller.
