A hero who flies on winged sandals to slay the Gorgon. A ship full of princes sailing to the edge of the world for a fleece of gold. A young man who lifts a great stone, finds his father’s sword and walks to Athens through a land of robbers. In The Heroes (1856), Charles Kingsley retold three of the greatest Greek myths for his own children: Perseus, Jason and the Argonauts, and Theseus.
