THE CREST siege We can’t tell you who created any of the myths we’ve used in this book. No one can. They just “‘Shappened.’’ Some one’s idea, another’s imagination, hundreds of varied retellings — and there was your myth! In a way, that’s how this book came about. An idea, some imagination, hours of assembling and revising and — here’s your book. We hope you have as much fun with it as we did.

Down on this world of ignorance smiles a goddess Known on Olympus as grey-eyed Minerva, Having a wisdom so great as to lighten the darkness We mortals below create. We students have watched as nations waged War unexcelled both in horror and death; War, worse than that of gods in mad rage. We fear for the future. We pray to Minerva her grace to bestow On us some gift, some sort of protection For this wonderful peace, for this blessing so New and strange for us. You then, our faculty, represent here On earth that gift from Olympus. Give us her blessing! May we hold it dear — Knowledge, the key to understanding and peace.
