775 pages. 30 x 21.5 cm. First English edition. Translated from the German by Robert Allen. More than 1250 illustrations, including 53 tipped-in full-color plates. Classified Catalogue. Bibliography. Index.

Description:
Brown leather binding with maroon title plates, gilt decoration and lettering on the spine. Two volumes.Translated by Samuel Clark. Greek and Latin. Good clean examples of bookmaker's craft. Homer was the reputed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two epic poems that are the foundational works of ancient Greek literature. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential writers of all time. The Iliad is set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Mycenaean Greek kingdoms.

Modern scholars consider these accounts legendary. The Homeric… Read More
