Mild PerilMild

Mythological stories include characters in danger, such as hunters fighting beasts or being punished.

Sensitive Topics

The myths presented contain mild, classical conflict. For example, Orion is a hunter who fights animals, and Queen Cassiopeia is punished for her vanity. These elements are presented as part of an ancient story and are not graphic or frightening. The approach is secular and historical, focusing on the stories as a way people made sense of the world.
