THE YOUTH'S DICTIONARY OF MYTHOLOGY. Transcriber's Note The front cover has been created by the transcriber for the convenience of the reader. The front cover is released into the public domain. For ease of searching, names with a syllabic accent mark have been included initially without that accent, and all ligatures have been expanded (e.g. Æ has become ae). Further, proper nouns in the main body of the text (but not in the quoted material) have been made consistent where there was either a definite typographic error or there was a clear prevalence of one form over another. A list of these changes may be found at the end of the text. There were some instances of valid variable spellings which have been preserved as printed in each case. These include: Adrastaea, Adrasteia; Dionysus, Dionysius; Galatea, Galataea; Nemean, Nemaean; Perithous, Pirithous. The book also uses some archaic spelling, and this is also preserved as printed. 1000 |
