"Tanglewood Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a collection of Greek myths retold for a young audience. The book opens with an introductory narrative featuring Eustace Bright, a college student who visits the narrator and shares his new stories. These tales are intended as a sequel to Hawthorne's earlier work, "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys." The introductory section sets the stage for the retelling of these myths, emphasizing the transformation of ancient stories into child-friendly narratives. The first story, "The Minotaur," follows the adventures of Theseus, a young hero who embarks on a journey to Athens to meet his father, King Aegeus. Along the way, Theseus encounters various challenges, including defeating robbers and monsters. Upon reaching Athens, he learns of the Minotaur, a fearsome creature that demands human sacrifices. Determined to end this terror, Theseus volunteers to face the Minotaur. With the help of Ariadne, the king's daughter, Theseus navigates the labyrinth, defeats the Minotaur, and saves his companions. The story highlights themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the triumph of good over evil, all while maintaining a tone suitable for young readers. Hawthorne's retelling preserves the essence of the original myths while making them accessible and engaging for children.
