Wraps. Etat : Very good. Various paginations. Cover has some wear and soiling. This includes reprints (or possibly overprints) of four articles that all seem to be from National Geographic Magazine, Volume LXXXV, No. 3, March, 1944: The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton pages 257-272, with 11 illustrations {this article contains excerpts from the author's book, The Greek Way]; Greece, The Birthplace of Science and Free Speech by Richard Stillwell, pages 273-289, with 13 illustrations and a map, [subtitled: Explorations on the Mainland and in Crete and the Aegean Isles Reveal Ancient Life Similar to That of the Present]; The Glory that was Greece by H. M. Herget (32 paintings with text), pages 290-354 pages; and The Isles of Greece by Richard Stillwell with 12 Illustrations in Black and White, Map, and 16 Illustrations in Color, pages 593-622. Edith Hamilton (August 12, 1867 - May 31, 1963) was an American educator and author who was "recognized as the greatest woman Classicist." She was 62 years old when The Greek Way, her first book, was published in 1930. It was instantly successful, and is the earliest expression of her belief in "the calm lucidity of the Greek mind" and "that the great thinkers of Athens were unsurpassed in their mastery of truth and enlightenment." In 1957, when the Book-of-the-Month Club selected The Greek Way (1930) as a featured book, it enhanced her efforts at directing the American mind towards Ancient Greece, despite it having been published twenty-seven years earlier. Moreover, by then, she already had published other books, among them The Roman Way (1932), Mythology (1942), and The Echo of Greece (1957); to date, at the high school and university levels, Mythology remains the premier introductory text about its subject. The New York Times has described her as the Classical Scholar who "brought into clear and brilliant focus the Golden Age of Greek life and thought . with Homeric power and simplicity in her style of writing".Richard Stillwell was a Lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve when this article was published. He was formerly Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.Herbert M. Herget was an archaeological painter for National Geographic magazine. He did not live to see his last major project published in the magazine in 1951. The subject of Herget's illustrations in that posthumous issue was "ancient Mesopotamia, a light that did not fail." Following is a quotation from the 1951 magazine describing the artist: "In the paintings by H.M. Herget, the facts about a complex civilization that lasted several thousand years were compressed and arranged in chronological sequences from remote to prehistoric times down to the middle of the first millennium B.C.
