The Golden Fleece1
Long ago a little boy and his sister lived in a far-off land. Their father was the king. Their mother had been the queen, but she was dead.
The new queen did not like these children at all. She did not give them enough to eat, and she often made them stay out in the cold.
At last the queen made a plan to get rid of the children. The little boy found out about this, and told his sister.
Let us run away and hide, he said. We must go where the queen cannot find us.
Oh, yes! Let us go at once, said the little sister.
Very soon they were ready to set out. Just then a strange thing happened. A ram cam flying down to them from the clouds. This ram was not like other sheep, for he had a fleece of bright gold.
When the children saw him, they were glad. He has come to help us, they said, He will take us away, so that the queen cannot find us. Then they climbed up on his back.
The little boy took hold of the rams horns to keep from falling. The little girl held fast to him. Greek Myth
The Golden Fleece2
The ram then flew up into the air. Away, far, far off he flew. He carried the children safely over the land.
Then they came to the sea. There the little sister lost her hold, and fell into the deep water.
The ram could not stop, and there was no way for the little boy to help his sister. The brother was sorry, and cried very hard, but he still held on.
At last they came to land again, and the ram flew down. The little boy got off. He was glad for here the queen could not harm him.
The boy then went to see the king of this country, who gave him a pleasant home.
Not long after this the ram died. Then the boy took the beautiful fleece of gold, and gave it to this king. The king was much pleased with it, and had it hung up on an oak-tree, in the dark woods.
Other kings heard about the fleece, and tried to take it away. So a great dragon was placed under the tree to guard the golden fleece.
Greek Myth
Arthur and the Sword1
This sword was found in a very strange place. It wasticking in an anvil.
The anvil was on a stone, and the stone was close beside a church. Just how it happened to be there, no one knew.
One day as some men came out of the church, they saw the sword. But it was not there when they went in. Where had it come from?
The men went up to look at the sword. They read these words on the anvil, If any one can pull this sword out, he shall be the king.
After some days, all the brave knights met to talk about this strange sword out of the anvil, but no one could move it.
Let us go home, they said, and try again some other day. So they went away.
Some time after this, all the knights met at a place nearby. But one of them had left his sword at home.
Arthur, please go home and get my sword for me, this knight said to his young brother.
Arthur went home, but there was no one at home get the sword for him.
My brother must have a sword, said Arthur to himself. I saw one in the anvil beside the church. I shall go and get that sword for him.
Sir Thomas Malory

Arthur and the Sword2
Arthur rode at once to the church. When he came to the stone, he took hold of the sword, and pulled it out. This seemed easy work to him.
Then he carried the word to his brother. The name of Arthurs brother was Sir Kay.
This is not my sword, Arthur, said Sir Kay. Where did you get this one?
I took it out of the anvil on the stone, said Arthur. There was no one at home to give me you sword.
Arthurs brother quickly told their father what had happened. That is very old, said their father. Let us see about this thing.
When they came to the stone, Arthurs father put the sword back where it had been before. Then he tried to pull it out. The sword did not move.
Next Sir Kay tried to pull it out, but the sword stuck fast in the anvil.
Now, Arthur, it is you turn, said his father.
Arthur grasped the sword. It came right out his hands. He put it back in the anvil, and took it out again and again.
Then all the other knights tried as before to pull out the sword. They could not move it.
When all these men had failed a number of times, they
gave up. They saw that Arthur was the only person that could pull out this strange sword. Arthur shall be the king! Arthur shall be the king! was the cry. The knight agreed to this. So Arthur was soon made the king, and was ever brave, and wise, and good.

The Three Golden Apples1
Long ago there lived a hero by the name of Hercules. He was a very strong and brave man, and did many great deeds.
Over his shoulders he wore the skin of a fierce lion that he had killed. He carried a huge club, and he also had a bow and arrows.
The king once sent Hercules to find three golden apples and bring them back. These apples grew in a fairy garden a long way off.
As Hercules went on his way to the garden, every one that he met told him to return home.
Go back, the people said. Even if you reach the garden, the dragon will kill you.
Near a river Hercules stopped to talk with some maidens. They, too, told him about the dragon.
What is the dragon like? asked Hercules.
It has a hundred heads, one girl said, and is put there to guard the apples.
Fifty of the heads are always on the watch, while the other fifty sleep, said another.
I am not afraid, said Hercules. Now I must go.
When Hercules came to the sea, he saw a great golden bowl tossing on the waves. The bowl was as large as a boat,
and floated to the shore. Hercules climbed into this bowl. Then he spread out his lion skin, and lay down on it to sleep. A way over the sea floated his boat, but the hero did not awake until the bowl again touched land.

The Three Golden Apples2
In a moment Hercules sprang out. Now I must look for the giant, he said, for he will tell me the way.
Halloo! said a voice.
Looking up, Hercules caught sight of the giant. My god, what a huge fellow he was! Truly he was as tall as a mountain. There he stood holding the world on his shoulders, for, you know, that was his work.
What do you want? asked the giant.
I want three golden apples for the king, said Hercules.
The dragon will kill you, said the giant. Nobody can go to the garden but me, and I have to hold up the world.
Let me hold the world, said Hercules.
This was just what the giant wanted. How glad he was to be free! It was his first rest for a hundred years. He stretched himself and started off.
Ten miles the giant went at a single step. He waded into the sea. Ten miles more and ten miles more, and Hercules could no longer see him.
Soon the world grew heavy on the shoulders of the hero, and he wished for the giants return.
The giant was not in any haste. He was finding it very pleasant to be free. But after some time he came in sight.
Hercules was on the watch for him. Sure enough, the giant had the three golden apples. These he was tossing about twenty miles up into the air and catching as they came down.
Then the giant gave the apples to Hercules, and again took the world on his shoulders. Hercules went back to the palace and laid his gift before the king.

Ulysses and the Wind
For ten long years Ulysses and his soldiers had been fighting at Troy. Now the war was over, and they were all going home.
As their home was on an island in the sea, they had to go in boats.
Aeolus, the king of the winds, lived on another island. He kept the winds shut up in a cave, so that they could not do harm by blowing at the wrong time.
Ulysses stopped to see his friend Aeolus. I should like to have a good wind that will blow our boats straight home, he said.
With all my heart, said Aeolus, here is a bag filled with winds. You shall have it, and then you can choose any wind that you please.
Ulysses first chose the west wind, and gayly it blew the boats toward home.
For eight days and nights Ulysses stayed awake to see that all was right. By that time they were in sight of their own island. Now all is well, and I shall sleep, said Ulysses.
No sooner was Ulysses asleep, than his men got into mischief. They had seen the queer bag. It must hold treasures, they said, for Ulysses guards it with so much care.
Then they opened the bag. Out rushed all the winds, and over the sea they flew.
The north wind made a fierce storm, the east wind brought rain, the sea was filled with huge waves, and the poor boats were driven far away.
They were driven so far, that ten years more rolled round before Ulysses reached his island. By that time all of his men and boats were lost, and a friendly king had to send them home.
Homers Iliad, adapted

尤利西斯与风
尤利西斯率领众士兵攻打特洛伊城已有十年了，如今战争已经停息，希腊将士们纷纷返回家乡。因为他们的家乡在海中的一座岛屿上，所以他们必须坐船去。风神埃俄罗斯住在另一座岛上。他把风关在山洞里，避免它们在不合时宜的时候出现。尤利西斯途中去看望好友埃俄罗斯，告诉他：我想要一阵好风，把我们的船刮到家乡去。奉上我的心意，埃俄罗斯说，这里有个锦囊，里面装着风。你拿着它，就可以让风朝你想要的地方吹。尤利西斯先选了一阵西风，船儿轻快地朝家的方向驶去。为了确保一切顺利，尤利西斯八天八夜没有休息。后来，他们已经能看得到家乡的岛屿了，尤利西斯才说：既然一切顺利，那么我也该睡一觉了。
尤利西斯还没睡多久，他的船员们就开始动歪脑筋了。他们盯上了那个古怪的锦囊。尤利西斯花这么多心思守着，这里面一定是有财宝。他们说。
于是他们解开了锦囊，所有的风都呼啸而出，在海面上飞驰。北风刮起了猛烈的风暴，而东风则唤来了大雨，海面上波澜起伏，把这艘倒霉的船吹到了很远的地方。
他们被吹得很远很远，这一来，尤利西斯花十几年都回不到家乡。
正当他的船和所有船员迷失了方向的时候，一位好心的国王出现了，将他们送回了家。
