Twenty-seven stories adapted for young children from selections of works of classic writers of the ancient world.

Writers represented in the collection include Plato, Homer, Hesiod, Aristophanes, Pliny, and Ovid. Numerous black and white illustrations complement the text. Suitable for ages 6 and up.

Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... LESSON V. WHY THE QUARRELSOME MEN WERE LOCKED OUT OF BIRD CITY. There was once a beautiful city where for a long time people were good and brave and happy. They sang sweet songs, told pleasant stories, built great temples and offered sacrifices to the gods. But it came about as time passed on, that they grew selfish, each man desiring the things that belonged to some other man, and when he could not get them he went to law about it to make the other man give them up. There were two men living in the beautiful city who grew tired of all this wrangle and made up their minds that they would go off to a pleasanter place. So each of them bought a bird; one bought a magpie and the other a jackdaw, to show them the way to a better land. They travelled about for many days, tramping up and down, watching every motion of the birds, so that they might find the way to the happy land. At last the birds flew straight up into the air and of course the two travellers had to follow them. When they had gone up far enough they came to a country where they found a king who had once been a man and had lived in the beautiful city. But he too had become tired of seeing people quarrel, and had run away up to bird-land where he had changed into a hoopoe and lived in peace. The two travellers came to the door of King Hoopoe and knocked very loudly, but no one answered them, so they cried out at the top of their voices, "Hoop! Hoop! Hoopoe!" and the king's servant came to the door. The servant was a very large bird, but he was frightened when he saw the travellers, for he was afraid that they were a pair of birdcatchers, so he told them that they had better be off or the birds would get after them and put them to death. This scared the travellers, and they told...

Excerpt from Stories From Plato and Other Classic Writers: Homer, Hesoid, Aristophanes, Ovid, Pliny Classics for Children "There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same, and to all of the same. Tie that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, lie may feel; what at any time has befallen any man. he can understand." When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me. - when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. While it is good to walk among the living, it is good also to live with the wise, great, good dead. It keeps out of life the dreadful feeling of extemporaneousness with its conceit and its despair. It makes us always know that God made other men before He made us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Here in the Just City you will become your best selves. You will learn and grow and strive to be excellent." Created as an experiment by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, the Just City is a planned community, populated by over ten thousand children and a few hundred adult teachers from all eras of history, along with some handy robots from the far human future—all set down together on a Mediterranean island in the distant past. The student Simmea, born an Egyptian farmer's daughter sometime between 500 and 1000 A.D, is a brilliant child, eager for knowledge, ready to strive to be her best self. The teacher Maia was once Ethel, a young Victorian lady of much learning and few prospects, who prayed to Pallas Athene in an unguarded moment during a trip to Rome—and, in an instant, found herself in the Just City with grey-eyed Athene standing unmistakably before her. Meanwhile, Apollo—stunned by the realization that there are things mortals understand better than he does—has arranged to live a human life, and has come to the City as one of the children. He knows his true identity, and conceals it from his peers. For this lifetime, he is prone to all the troubles of being human. Then, a few years in, Sokrates arrives—the same Sokrates recorded by Plato himself—to ask all the troublesome questions you would expect. What happens next is a tale only the brilliant Jo Walton could tell. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
