James Baldwin (1841-1925) was an educator and prolific children’s book author who re-wrote many classic legends and myths for young readers. Myths and folktales can tell us a lot about how the world came to be and, even now, prompt us to ask ourselves questions about the world. Many cultures depend on mythology to express their values, histories, and systems of thought. Greek and Roman myths have been widely read in the West and translated into various different styles and genres: from sophisticated poetry to novel adaptations and even movies. In this myth, James Baldwin retells the tale of Jupiter and His Mighty Company in an accessible style. As you read, take note of some of the themes within the myth and how they might teach us lessons about the world we live in today.
