Men of Old Greece
Hardcover
(Forgotten Books Feb. 4, 2018)
Excerpt from Men of Old Greece
That Old Greece was a lovely land. Everywhere lines Of peaked mountains looked at each other across pretty little val leys. Through the valleys sparkled small rivers. Beside the rivers stretched green Olive groves,golden wheat fields, and garden spots. Here and there, among the fields, shone white cities, with high walls and twist ing streets. From the mountain-foot down to the flat valley lay hills, great and small. Their sides were streaked with vineyards and dotted with whitewashed cabins. On the mountain-side strayed sheep, watched by their shepherd, who was piping to him self ln a cool cave. Every mountain-top looked Off to the purple sea near at hand.
