This part of the book made me feel a little different about the tales itself. I felt that these stories were a little bit more based on power. It made me feel bad for those that did not have any power or any thing unique about them because they were treated as pieces of trash in the area. It made me feel that the people in these stories were brutal and rude. No power or beauty can buy happiness. Even people that live in the streets or do not a pot of gold with them have hearts and are human beings. I think this was the time period in which power meant a lot to people and could do anything to obtain it.
I did not like the part of the tales in which people sacrificed bodies and daughters to the gods. Maybe they did not understand which religion or what God really wanted, but this was unnecessary. I was shocked in many parts of the stories because they were so ridiculously weird and vulgar. Monsters such as Sphinx existed and people such as the Proci's sisters who had a tragic love story. I do like the fact that the stories had a common base to it. It held the story strong and brought suspense through out. The power of the powerful people. Love, danger, suspense, tragedy, shame, greed, etc... where all common themes of the stories in these parts.
