Happy birthday to Edith Hamilton! If you went to college or high school in the United States, chances are you’ve come across her seminal work, Mythology. Though Hamilton began her study of Greek and Latin when she was seven years old, she did not publish her first book until she was 62. For her contributions to the field of Classics, she was made an honorary citizen of Athens on her 90th birthday.(images from Hamilton’s Mythology, illustrated by Steele Savage (BL310 .H3 1942a)) -- source link
