The narrative centers around a college student who shares classic tales from mythology, including the stories of Midas, Pandora, Hercules, and Perseus, with his younger relatives during vacation outings. Hawthorne aims to infuse these ancient fables with a Gothic or romantic tone, contrasting the typical coldness of classical storytelling. This approach seeks to make the myths more engaging and relatable, creating a warm atmosphere as the student recounts these timeless adventures in natural settings.
