What does chapter 31 of Herakles, the Hero of Thebes, and Other Heroes of the Myth contain?

Chapter 31 holds 56 sentences of Herakles, the Hero of Thebes, and Other Heroes of the Myth, unabridged, divided into 12 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 31 of Herakles, the Hero of Thebes, and Other Heroes of the Myth by Mary E. (Mary Elizabeth) Burt exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 56 sentences, grouped into 12 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 31 of Herakles, the Hero of Thebes, and Other Heroes of the Myth?

Work through the 12 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 12 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 31 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 31 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.

DEMETER'S GRIEF On the tenth day of her wanderings she met Hekate, who said: "Lovable Demeter, who hath robbed thee of thy daughter and plunged thee into sorrow?

I heard her cries when she was carried off, but I could not see who it was that took her.

There is one, however, who sees everything, Helios, and he may tell thee where thy daughter is concealed."

Demeter gladly took the hint, and with Hekate she set out to find Helios, and when they saw his horses and chariot they stationed themselves where they could speak to him.

The venerable goddess said to him: "If ever, oh, Helios, I have pleased thee in word or deed, I pray thee look down from the heavens and tell me truly whether it is a god or a mortal that hath stolen my daughter."
