Articles liés à Sicily in Fable, History, Art, and Song (Classic Reprint)
Présentation de l'éditeur
In preparation for writing this short history of Sicily I have made a careful study of the sources, both Greek and Roman, including Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Diodorus, Polybius, Cicero, Livy, Caesar and many others, including the History of Gheece, by Grote, the great interpreter of Thucydides. Few countries have engaged the attention of more illustrious men. I have also read the great work of Holm, Sicilien im A lterthum, of which I have made great use. His work is a rich mine of Sicilian lore, and ought to be translated. But I fear that it would be considered heavy by the idle readers of the present generation, who seldom read history, but only the fringe of history magazines, biographies, reviews, and newspaper articles. So much has been written about Sicily that a new work of this kind may be considered superfluous. The excellent work of Freeman is mainly ethnological and will only appeal to a few serious students.
