HA GUERBER - THE MYTHS OF GREECE AND ROME 1952 49 illus. LIAD, ALLIAD, ODDESY pictures, statues

Myths in painting and schulpture.  Book contains several short summaries of stories such as the Iliad, the Alliad, and the Oddesy. Contains many passages from such poets as Homer, Shakespeare, and several others of a more modern origin. Written in fine, if rather flowery script, this book portrays its myths just as one would assume the ingenious writers and story tellers who created them would like them to be told. A vast accomplishment, this document has been printed and reprinted ever since it was first written over a hundred years ago. Colorful descriptions of each deity are accompanied by a complete list of their many different names.

1952 George Harrap & Co illustrated  blue hardback with few age marks, 316 pages including index. Dustcover has wear to it, few very small tears to edges
