Read four classic Greek myths in easy Latin beside a clear English translation, one sentence at a time. From Ritchie's celebrated 'Fabulae Faciles', the first Latin reader generations of students learned from, this collection follows the adventures of Perseus, the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, and the wanderings of Ulysses — retold in simple, connected Latin prose built for beginners.

The Latin keeps its macrons (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū) exactly as Ritchie printed them, so you learn each vowel's length as you read — the key to correct pronunciation from the very start.

Every sentence is aligned Latin-to-English, so you always know exactly what you are reading. Tap any word for an instant definition, listen to the Latin read aloud, and follow the highlighted word alignment sentence by sentence. Because the Latin was written to be a first reader, the grammar stays gentle and the vocabulary repeats — making this one of the friendliest ways to start reading real, continuous Latin.

This reader is part of a growing collection of bilingual story apps that pair timeless tales with modern language-learning tools. Start with these four heroic myths and read your way into Latin, one sentence at a time.
