Hephaestus: Persephone At Enna And Sappho In Leucadia (1903) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169652767)

Hephaestus: Persephone At Enna And Sappho In Leucadia is a book written by Arthur Stringer and published in 1903. The book is a collection of three different stories, all of which are set in ancient Greece and feature prominent figures from Greek mythology. The first story, Hephaestus, tells the tale of the god of fire and metalworking as he seeks revenge against his unfaithful wife Aphrodite and her lover Ares. The second story, Persephone At Enna, follows the myth of Persephone's abduction by Hades and her eventual return to the world of the living. The third and final story, Sappho In Leucadia, is a fictional account of the final days of the famous poet Sappho, as she contemplates suicide on the island of Leucadia. Stringer's writing style is heavily influenced by the romanticism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his descriptions of ancient Greece are vivid and atmospheric. The book is a fascinating exploration of Greek mythology and the human condition, and is sure to captivate readers with an interest in history, mythology, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
