You could try Robert Graves' accounts:

Or more contemporary: Apollodorus, a Hellenistic scholar who tried to collate the myths in one volume:

Bear in mind though that many of the myths were continually changed, evolving and being re-written. There are no definitive versions.
You should probably also steer clear of calling them parables, as the word doesn't really apply.
