Overview

Excerpt from The Story of the Iliad Writing for young people, I have endeavored to adapt the style to their taste and capacity, and have thus, first of all, aimed at simplicity of expression. As a consequence I have been forced to omit some of the finest descriptions and most elegant passages of the poem. So, too some of its finest sentiments had to be omitted as requiring more maturity of thought than is usually possessed by the class of readers for whom the Work is more particularly intended. A little antique flavor is imparted to the style in many places by the use of old-fashioned expressions, which seems to be in keeping with the original. The whole has been prepared with a very sincere desire of contributing something toward the happiness and culture of the young people of our country.
