Stories from Plato and other classic writers : Hesiod, Homer, Aristophanes, Ovid, Catullus, and Pliny
A children's anthology of retold Greek stories by Mary E. Burt, published in Boston by Ginn & Company in 1896, drawn from Plato and other classical writers for young readers. The four line illustrations show a bearded philosopher seated beside a Doric column with a standing youth, a seated teacher with children at the steps, a youth among a flock of birds, and a seated figure playing pipes among reeds, all in plain pen-and-ink with cross-hatched shading that a designer could borrow for classical motifs, columns, and rustic scenes.
