The series Stories of Modern Greek Mythology invites us to remember and be enchanted once again by the words of bygone times, words that comforted, accompanied, and tried to explain what once frightened or captivated people. Stories based on our traditions, passed down orally from generation to generation… for us to read together with our children today. Some years ago, my little beloved, there lived worthy, skilled, and renowned lyre players, who said they learned their art so well from beautiful fairies, on moonless nights.
