Bullfinch's Mythology - The Age of Chivalry and Legends of Charlemagne

Description: Thomas Bulfinch originally published his work as three volumes: The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes, published in 1855; The Age of Chivalry, or Legends of King Arthur, published in 1858; and Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages, published in 1863. Bulfinch's original three volumes were posthumously combined into a single volume by Edward Everett Hale in 1881, who gave them the title Bulfinch's Mythology. This book is that complete single volume. CONTENTSSTORIES OF GODS AND HEROES I. Introduction II. Prometheus and Pandora III. Apollo and Daphne—Pyramus and Thisbe—Cephalus and Procris IV.
