Excerpt from Greek and Roman Mythology: Based on Steuding's Griechische Und Romische Mythologie
In adapting Steuding's Griechische and Romische Mythologie to the needs of American students, two aims have been kept steadily in view: first, that the genesis and development of the myths should be clearly set forth; secondly, that the text should be supplemented by a generous supply of references to some of the most useful literary passages illustrative of the subjects in hand. Therein lie whatever claims this little book has to a place among the various attractive text-books that have recently appeared upon the same subject. It is not a dictionary, perhaps not even a reference book; but rather an attempt to furnish within small compass a consistent and systematic exposition of the development of mythology and religion among the Greeks and Romans.
