The Age of Fable by Thomas Bulfinch
"The Age of Fable" by Thomas Bulfinch is a collection of mythological tales published in 1855. This groundbreaking work retold Greek and Roman myths for English-speaking readers who lacked classical language training. Bulfinch combined ancient stories with quotations from contemporary poets, creating a bridge between classical learning and modern literature. His accessible prose invited middle-class readers into worlds of gods, heroes, and legendary adventures, making classical mythology comprehensible without requiring knowledge of
Latin or Greek. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
