Features: Out of reverence for fate, in modern Western households, there are two books: one is the Bible, a spiritual anchor, and the other is Greek and Roman Myths, a cautionary tale for parents to advise their children to always spread their wings of imagination and envision the many possibilities they will face in their future lives. Reading these Western myths can help only benefit children living in a sugar-coated environment, giving them a taste of the wonder and cruelty of fate. Many idioms and allusions frequently used in modern Western languages, such as the "Golden Apple" that sparks conflicts, the invaluable "Golden Fleece," and the "Pandora's Box" that brings disaster, all originate from stories in Western mythology. Chinese young readers familiar with the origins of these allusions will undoubtedly benefit from learning English and understanding Western culture. In the writing of this book, we have simplified it to suit the reading habits of Chinese children. We hope that after reading this book, Chinese children will improve their ability to survive independently.
