Tooke's Pantheon of the Heathen Gods and Illustrious Heroes (Hardcover)

1851. This volume is revised for a classical course of education and adapted for the use of students of every age and of either sex. Illustrated with engravings from new and original designs. The object of the editor of this book is to present a complete summary of mythology, in a chaste diction, for the study of persons of every age, and of either sex. Without a general knowledge of heathen mythology, the immortal writings of Homer, Virgil, Ovid and others, are almost intelligible and their principal beauties lost.
