In preparation for the reprint of N.A. Kuhn's book, the editors, while maintaining the overall structure of the work, considered it necessary to reduce its volume by removing some secondary legends that were not essential for understanding the main parts of Greek mythology. In addition, given the possibility of reading this work by schoolchildren, the editors made some particular changes to the presentation of individual mythical episodes. In its present form, the book of N.A. Kuhn is mainly a manual for history teachers in high school. It can be used by history teachers not only in preparation for lessons, but also in the lesson itself, and especially in classes of historical circles. The most convenient for such reading are myths about Prometheus, Hercules, about the Argonauts, arrangements of the poems "Iliad" and "Odyssey."
