Excerpt from Art and Humanity in Homer The present volume appeals, however, especially, to thebgeneral public or, rather, to those earnest men and women who wish a perfectly simple and readable introduction to the chief masterpieces of ancient litera ture. Perhaps it should contain more fre quent references to works of archaic art. These are, however, rarely direct illustra tions to Homer.
