The English traveller, in the shape of John Bull, looking on in horror at what the railway companies were planning for him. John Leech cartoon from Punch, London, 1848.

This 1912 image by J M Gleeson illustrates Kipling's The Elephant's Child tale: Originally the elephant had a short nose the size of a boot, flexible but useless for grasping things. One little elephant was insatiably inquisitive. He asked so many questions that all his relations spanked him. One day he asked: "What does the Crocodile have for dinner" They all spanked him and told him to hush. Then he asked Kolokolo Bird, who told him to go the Limpopo River and find out. On the way there he met and asked the Bi-Colored-Python-Rock-Snake, who also spanked him. Then he came to the river and found the Crocodile, who told him to come and hear the whispered answer. When he came close, the Crocodile caught him by his nose and tried to pull him into the water. The Elephant's Child resisted, helped by the Bi-Colored-Python-Rock-Snake, but his nose was pulled out into a long trunk before the Crocodile let go. He found he could use it to swat flies, pick grass, and gather mud to cool his head.

According to Greek and Roman mythology, Cupid (Eros), the god of love fell in love with a beautiful mortal named Psyche. Aphrodite (Venus), who was Cupid's mother, became extremely jealous. She had ordered her son to shoot Psyche with a love arrow and planned to have her fall in love with someone awful, but Cupid, taken with her beauty, nicks himself with the arrow and falls for Psyche. To keep them apart, Aphrodite assigns Psyche tasks, including demanding that Psyche separate a huge pile of mixed grains and put like grains in separate bags - all in a day. An army of ants help Psyche complete the task. Aphrodite then assigns Psyche the task of fetching water from a stream guarded by serpents and impossible for humans to reach. This 1905 illustration shows the eagle that came to help Psyche bringing the urn filled the water to Psyche. The tale is found in Apuleius' Metamorphoses.

Honoré Broutelle, Le Chevalier St. Georges, 1924, woodcut on paper.

The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea, 1514-15, printed 1549. Titian (Italian, c. 1488-1576). Woodcut; unframed: 41.9 x 55 cm (16 1/2 x 21 5/8 in.). Because woodcuts emulate the artist's drawing style, prints after Titian's designs are very different from those of the German master Albrecht Dürer. Whereas Dürer's woodcuts exemplify controlcrosshatching and parallel lines of shading are precise and uniformTitian's lines in the Venetian manner are drawn with vigorous strokes that are bold, expressive, and irregular. An enormous, complex design, The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea reflects the strength of Titian's drawing, which propels the narrative across several woodblocks to achieve a remarkable unity. The rolling clouds and turbulent sea culminate in the solid gravity of the magnificent cliff that overhangs the shore. Only a fragment exists from the first edition published in 1515, so the print is known solely in examples from the second edition of 1549. Prob

Representation of the legend of Daedalus and Icarus. Illustration from a publication dated 1887. Daedalus was shut up in a tower to prevent his knowledge of his Labyrinth from spreading. Since Minos controlled the land and sea routes, Daedalus set to work to fabricate wings for himself and his young son Icarus. When both were prepared for flight, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high, because the heat of the sun would melt the wax, nor too low, because the sea foam would soak the feathers. They had passed Samos, Delos and Lebynthos by the time the boy, forgetting himself, began to soar upward toward the sun. The blazing sun softened the wax that held the feathers together and they came off. Icarus quickly fell in the sea and drowned.

An engraving depicting MANDRAKE. 1880. A mandrake is the root of a plant, historically derived either from plants of the genus Mandragora found in the Mediterranean region, or from other species, such as Byronia alba, the English mandrake, which have similar properties. Because mandrakes contain deliriant hallucinogenic tropane alkaloids and the shape of their roots often resembles human figures, they have been associated with a variety of superstitious practices throughout history.

Hercules is the Roman equivalent of the Greek divine hero Heracles, son of Jupiter and the mortal Alcmene.

Prometheus was freed by Heracles (seen here in this 1915 illustration), who was on the eleventh of his twelve labors in search of the Apples of Hesperides. These apples grew on a magical tree with golden bark and golden leaves. A hundred-headed serpent was placed near the tree to guard the golden
