The Dolphin Rider: And Other Greek Myths Kindle Edition

by Bernard Evslin (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
The Greek myths are celebrated as timeless stories in this collection by renowned author Bernard Evslin

“The Dolphin Rider” is Arion, who lives in Corinth, a city near the sea. He longs to go on great adventures, but an oracle warns that if he embarks on a voyage, he will never return. When Apollo, the god of music, gives Arion a golden lyre for his twentieth birthday, Arion ignores the oracle’s words and sets sail for Sicily. Everyone falls in love with his singing, and great treasures are heaped on him, but Arion is forced to contend with an unexpected foe: man’s greed.

“The Gift of Fire” introduces Prometheus, the young giant who fears no one, including Zeus, mighty ruler of gods and men. However, when Prometheus vows to bring his precious gift to every cave in the land, he makes multiple deadly enemies.

This collection also features stories about Narcissus, destined to fall in love with his own beautiful reflection; King Midas, who loves only gold; Cupid, who must suffer the consequences when he is struck down by love; and the fatally curious Pandora.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This beautiful book owes as much to art direction and picture research as to its potent subject. . . . A helpful list and pronunciation key of the characters’ names is included at the beginning of the book. Libraries with strong folklore and mythology collections can round them out further with this book and others in the series.” —School Library Journal

About the Author

Bernard Evslin (1922–1993) was a bestselling and award-winning author known for his works on Greek and other cultural mythologies. The New York Times called him “one of the most widely published authors of classical mythology in the world.” He was born in New Rochelle, New York, and attended Rutgers University. After several years working as a playwright, screenwriter, and documentary producer, he began publishing novels and short stories in the late 1960s. During his long career, Evslin published more than seventy books—over thirty of which were for young adults. His bestseller Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths has been translated into ten different languages and has sold more than ten million copies worldwide. He won the National Education Association Award in 1961, and in 1986 his book Hercules received the Washington Irving Children’s Book Choice Award. Evslin died in Kauai, Hawaii, at the age of seventy-seven.

    A soft (not too psychologically disturbing for young ones) entry into the rich world of Evslin's poetic retellings of the old myths.

    I loved this book when I was at primary school and have purchased for my daughter to read who seems to be enjoying the short stories. They are a nice introduction to Greek Myths, lovely front cover too.
