The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome

I'm curious about how E.M. Berens chose which stories to include. Did they focus on the most popular tales or seek to showcase lesser-known legends?

Reading these myths, I felt transported back in time. Were there any stories that resonated differently depending on cultural background?

The way the stories are organized seems intentional — I wonder whether that was based on thematic grouping, chronological order, or something else.
