FOUNDED ON THE WORKS OF PETISCUS, PRELLER, AND WELCKER. BY ALEXANDER S. MURRAY, DEPARTMENT OF GREEK AND ROMAN ANTIQUITIES, BRITISH MUSEUM. With thirty-five plates on toned paper, representing seventy-six mythological subjects. 12mo, cloth extra....... PROSPECTUS. $3.00 WITH the view of making the subject of ancient mythology accessible to the higher classes of schools, to art students, and to general readers, the plan, and, to a great extent, the substance of the present book, have been taken from the German work of Petiscus, entitled "Der Olymp," which has proved how well it is adapted for such a purpose by the fact of its having already reached a seventeenth edition. At the same time, while endeavoring to imitate the simple style of narrative to which the success of that work has mainly been due, it has been found necessary to reject many of the observations made by its author, and to adopt in their place the results of more recent research. This is particularly the case in regard to the Introduction, in which it is attempted to show how the belief in the existence of the gods originated, and to point out the influence of such belief with special reference to the ancient Greeks. The legends of the Greek heroes have also been given at a greater length, and in a manner, it is hoped, more worthy of the subject. In addition to the mythologies of Greece and Rome, the present work will be found to contain an account of the Scandinavian and Old German, the Indian and Egyptian mythologies.
