'N I f Q l xgli f i is f v5 -A Th There is one mythology which is most deeply rooted in our world today: the mythology of the Greeks. It existed as a religion Hve hundred years before the birth of Christ. But from it and from the life which produced it have come a great part of our language, our ideas of beauty, and some of the most beautiful and poetic stories ever dreamed or imagined. Hardly a day passes that you do not hear or see something which remains to us from that ancient, beau- tiful time. This is why we, the editors chose To The Greeks to be our theme. How often have you seen the figure of the winged god, Mercury, or Hermes, as the Greeks called him, with wings on his feet and on his hat, carrying a staH1, which is topped with wings and sur- rounded by entwined serpents? This was the god as the Greeks pictured him, swifter than thought, the messenger of the gods. To this day hex is used as the insignia for many messenger services be- cause his name stands as a symbol of speed and movement. 6 L ff I Qui- l sq 4. f x 'x l 1 all ' ,l' .fm A has Q'-1-..-f'
