Abstract

A Handbook of Mythology
September 27, 1894 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "A Handbook of Mythology," by E.M. Barens. If any one thinks it profitable to teach classical mythology systematically, he will find this book a useful manual. But the whole subject was felt to be stale even in the second century; and, if the pardonable pedantry of the renaissance and the less excusable affectation of certain later periods have momentarily revived a taste for such frigid decorative lumber, these resuscitations have been less and less successful at each attempt.
