"Es ist kaum nötig, auf die Bedeutung der Kenntnis der Mythologie einzugehen: unsere Gedichte, unsere Romane und sogar unsere Tageszeitungen wimmeln von klassischen Anspielungen; noch kann ein Besuch in unseren Kunstgalerien und Museen voll genossen werden, ohne etwas mehr als nur eine oberflächliche Kenntnis eines Themas, das in allen Zeiten Maler, Bildhauer und Dichter inspiriert hat. Es bleibt mir daher nur zu hoffen, dass sich mein kleines Werk nicht nur für Gelehrte als nützlich erweisen möge, sondern auch für eine große Gruppe von Lesern, die in ihrer Freizeit Freude und Nutzen aus seiner Lektüre ziehen können."
