She also separated the Greek stories from the Roman ones. She would group love stories in one section and then tales of the Trojan War in another. Hamilton organized her book well making it an easy to follow read. The goal was to be as accurate as possible to the originals so the readers could understand what the original writers were like. Hamilton wrote small passages at the beginning of the stories giving information on the original writers. Hamilton states the point of this book is to “show us the way the human race thought and felt untold ages ago.” (13) She is also wanting to entertain her readers and give the audience more knowledge about the Roman and Greek Myths and how the ancient civilizations explained them, which she succeeds in doing. ![]()
