STORIES FOR OLDER CHILDREN.

The cycle story hours in the St. Louis Public Library are planned to interest older boys and girls in great works of literature and to inspire them to read along one line for several weeks or months.  Stories in a series are told at a definite hour each week to encourage regular attendance.  However, each story is complete in itself and any boys and girls of nine years and more are invited to attend whether or not they are registered borrowers of books.

GREEK CYCLE STORIES.

Greek Myths.

1.  The gorgon’s head.

2.  Three golden apples.

3.  The miraculous pitcher.

4.  The Chimaera.

5.  The Minotaur.

6.  The Pygmies.

7.  The golden fleece.

Sources for the story teller:
  Hawthorne.  Wonder book. 
  Hawthorne.  Tanglewood tales. 
  Kingsley.  Heroes, or, Greek fairy tales for my children.

The Hawthorne books are Greek myths interpreted into moral stories written in the author’s inimitable style.  The characters are more human and real to the child than those in the Kingsley version.  Kingsley retains the Greek spirit and tells the stories in bold, strong, heroic outlines.  They are probably more easily adapted than the Hawthorne versions.

Stories from the Odyssey.
