Before I fell in love with history, I had an affair with literature. To be honest, I always loved history and literature. There was a time when I was a literature major and I immersed myself in Byron and Shelley on a daily basis, now its more like Grant and Napoleon but hey...
I believe, I am not sure, but I believe I have this entire set.
Materworks of World Literature Volume One
I picked this up for a whopping 75 cents, its a 1970 printing.
It includes The Odyssey, The Aaneid, Poetry by Sappho, The Song of Roland, part of the bible, and a selection from Don Quixote....vast.
"Ah, race of mortal men,
How as a thing of nought
I count ye, though ye live;
For who is there of men
That more of blessing knows,
Than just a little while
To seem to prosper well,"
-Sophocles
