Description
This article explores the inclusion of more adult issues in retellings of Greek myths in children’s columns in Australian newspapers with a focus on the topic of the Great War. The case study here is from the column “For the Children”, published in the Australian Christian Commonwealth on 25 September 1914. This was a weekly newspaper from South Australia, first published in 1901, with its title reflecting the federation of the Australian colonies into one nation that year.
