The Pantheon or Ancient History of the Gods of Greece and Rome

1814. For the use of schools, and young persons of both sexes. The purpose of this book is to place the Heathen Mythology in two points of view: first, as it would have struck a Traveler in Greece, who wished to form a just conception of the Religion of the country, free from either favor or prejudice; secondly, regarding Mythology as the introduction and handmaid to the study of Poetry, the author has endeavored to feel his subject in the spirit of a poet, and to communicate that feeling to others.
