520			_a"Hero Tales" by James Baldwin is a collection of retold classic stories centered around the heroic figures from Greek and Norse mythology, written in the early 20th century. The book aims to introduce young readers to enduring tales that have shaped literary tradition and cultural understanding over generations. It draws on well-known narratives such as those of Apollo, Hercules, and the heroes of Troy, emphasizing themes of bravery, duty, and moral choice. At the start of "Hero Tales," the author sets the stage by discussing the timeless nature of these stories, which have captivated audiences throughout history. The introduction outlines the significance of the tales derived from Greek mythology, like those from the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," and the heroic legends from the ancient North. The first story featured is "How Apollo Came to Parnassus," illustrating the birth of the god Apollo and his journey to find a fitting place to establish his temple, followed by his triumph over the serpent Python. This opening portion effectively establishes the tone and intent of the collection as an accessible and engaging exploration of mythology meant for young readers.
