I had a book as a child (actually it was four volumes) of one folktale for every day of the year. It had a wonderful mixture of European but also African tales in it, some just half a page long, some running to 10 pages or so. I loved those stories.
I just saw that in my answer above part of a sentence was completely missing. I’ve amended it but I thought I mention it again since you must have thought I wasn’t making much sense: the book contained one folktale for every day of the year. It was called “Märchen für 365 und einen Tag” (Fairytales/Folktales for 365 and one day)

Not a myth, a folktale. Much younger than Homer et. al.

It’s not a myth but a folk tale. It’s about a peasant who works for seven years receiving three gold coins as pay.

Ah! Thanks. Most of the folk tales I know come from Northern Europe. Particularly a pair of brothers doubtless well known to you 😉

I was a fan too – and of the Greek myths.

To this day, I love men in miniskirts (like the Greek heroes wore in the tv adaptations) 😁

I no longer notice when people don’t make sense. We’ve had months of it! But thanks – that does read better now!

The art of googling when the brain fails (I had read the tale a long time ago but couldn’t remember the exact title nor that it was Greek).
