The Greek Heroes

Kingsley was a romantic British writer of the Victorian age. In this children's book he focuses on only three Greek heroes: Perseus, Jason, and Theseus. This allows him to tell their stories in detail with great interest. Like many Victorians, Kingsley was a moralist and his rendition develops the heroes in considerable depth.
