Mythology
$16.00
In the early nineteenth century, an English nobleman embarked on a tour of the sites of ancient Greece. He brought as his guide a primer on Greek myths written by his friend Lady Hestia Evans, a devotee of Lord Byron. Lady Hestia’s book was illustrated with crafts and novelties, including a game featuring Olympians, an oak-leaf Zeus, a Pandora’s box, the tale of Odysseus, a piece of the Golden Fleece, a gold coin for the ferry on the River Styx, and other surprises. The nobleman added comments and drawings, but wished for something odd at the Delphic oracle: as the book ends, it begins to turn . . . gold.
