The Fall of Icarus

I liked the myths that were included in this collection – much more than just the Fall of Icarus. The particular edition however is rather random as the stories follow each other, which made me wonder exactly who this collection was aiming for as an audience? It might confuse people who hear the stories for the first time (though being as famous as they are, this seems unlikely to happen. Or was it meant to be a short return for those who have heard the stories oft before (myself included in this one)?
