Beskrivning
Starting with descriptions of the divine figures of the Moon, the Dawn and the Sun, this volume goes on to tell of Phaethon, son of the sun-god Helios, who tore across the heavens in his father's chariot and suffered the same fate as would later befall Icarus.
Next comes Dionysus, god of wine, and his fascinating expeditions to Egypt, India and the unknown continent, together with the tale of his capture by pirates in the Tyrrhenian sea.
Last comes the goat-footed Pan: his love for the wood-nymph Syrinx and the musical contest with Apollo which king Midas paid so dearly for.
