D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths | Kolbe Academy Catholic Classical Curriculum

D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths introduces students to the gods, heroes, and legendary stories of ancient Greece through clear retellings and memorable illustrations. The book presents figures such as Zeus, Athena, Perseus, and Hercules, along with the many adventures, trials, and consequences that shape their stories.

These myths provide more than entertainment. They form a foundation for understanding the literature, art, and historical references that appear throughout later Western writing. As students read, they encounter recurring themes of pride and humility, fate and choice, and the difference between wisdom and power.

The narrative structure allows students to follow individual stories while recognizing connections among them, strengthening comprehension and discussion. Selected for upper elementary readers, the book introduces myth as an important cultural inheritance and prepares students to recognize allusions they will meet in future literature within a classical education program.
