Features: For thousands of years, myths have maintained an immortal charm, being widely beloved and never tiring to read, passed down from generation to generation across the world. They are not only an invaluable and non-renewable cultural heritage for all humanity, but also an extremely precious spiritual wealth, a crystallization of ancient wisdom, and unparalleled masterpieces. No matter how clumsy the translator's writing may be, it cannot stop them from radiating brilliance. Among world myths, the most representative are those of ancient Greece, which have had a profoundly extensive influence on Western literature, art, and ideological fields. This inspires us: if one wishes to read extensively and deeply understand the thinking characteristics and cultural traits of any ethnic literary and artistic works, starting with the myths of that nation is undoubtedly a shortcut and a key. With this understanding, the author has compiled this "Complete Collection of World Classic Myth Stories," a work of over 800,000 words from a vast sea of literature. The myth stories selected for this book are widely circulated around the world, all rich in interest, literary quality, and educational value. They originate from China, Greece, Rome, Northern Europe, Africa, Arabia, Egypt, the Americas, Babylon, Russia, and other Eastern civilizations.
