Our Little Athenian Cousin

Of Long Ago

The story of Hiero, a Athenian boy, laid during the the reign of Pericles when Athens was at the zenith of her power and glory, and when art and architecture reached their climax. The story has been purposely made to emphasize the artistic, rather than the political, side of Athenian life, since it is through its art that Athens has most powerfully influenced our own life and times.

First published in 1913, this edition is derived from the original book with 6 black & white illustrations by John Goss. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
