Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

The author sets before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshiped by the ancients themselves, and thereby to awaken in the minds of young students a desire to become more intimately acquainted with the noble productions of classical antiquity. The aim was to render the legends, which form the second portion of this work, a picture of old Greek life; its customs, superstitions, and princely hospitalities, for which reason they are given at somewhat greater length than is usual in works of this kind.
