This book was born out of a mission to make inaccessible texts available to modern readers, many of which had never been translated into English or Portuguese before. Originally intended as free digital resources, these translations have been compiled into this edition to preserve their authenticity, safeguard their attribution, and share them with a wider audience.
Whether you are a scholar, student, or enthusiast of ancient and medieval mythology, this collection is a must-have for anyone interested in the origins of storytelling and the enduring legacy of myth.
