*Mythology Timeless Tales of Gods and
Heroes* Questions and Answers

*Introduction to Classical Mythology* - answer Of old the Hellenic race was marked
off from the barbarian as more keen-witted and more free from nonsense. Herodotus I:
60.

Greek and Roman mythology is quite generally supposed to show us the way the
human race thought and felt untold ages ago. - answer Through it, according to this
view, we can retrace the path from civilized man who lives so far from nature, to man
who lived in close companionship with nature; and the real interest of the myths is that
they lead us back to a time when the world was young and people had a connection

with the earth, with trees and seas and flowers and hills, unlike anything we ourselves
can feel. - answer When the stories were being shaped, we are given to understand,
little distinction had as yet been made between the real and the unreal.

The imagination was vividly alive and not checked by the reason, so that anyone in the
woods might see through the trees a fleeing nymph, or bending over a clear pool to
drink, behold in the depth a naiad's face, - answer The prospect of traveling back to
this delightful state of things is held out by nearly every writer who touches upon
classical mythology, above all by the poets.

In that infinitely remote time primitive man could - answer Have sight of Proteus
rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

And we for a moment can catch, through the myths he made, a glimpse of that
strangely and beautifully animated world. - answer But a very brief consideration of
the ways of uncivilized peoples everywhere and in all ages is enough to prick that
romantic bubble.

Nothing is clearer than the fact that primitive man, whether in New Guinea today or
eons ago in the prehistoric wilderness, is not and never has been a creature who
peoples his world with bright fancies and lovely visions - answer Horrors lurked in the
primeval forest, not nymphs and naiads.

Terror lived there, with in close attendant, Magic, and its most common defense, Human
Sacrifice, Mankind's chief hope of escaping the wrath of whatever divinities were then
abroad lay in some magical rite, senseless but powerful, or in some offering made at the
cost of pain and grief. - answer *THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE GREEKS*
