I believe these fairy tales are actually about the life of ancient Greeks and the customs of ancient Greek society. When I read these fairy tales, I have a feeling of reading the history of ancient Western wax: glory, power, affair, conspiracy, murder, incest and so on. Some of these fairy tales are very moving, but others are not very pleasant to read.
