Brush up on your ancient Greek literature with this vintage copy of Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound and Seven Against Thebes. Part of Hinds & Nobles Handy Literal Translations series, this small volume holds two mighty works of tragedy.
The volume is not dated. Hinds & Noble ran a bookstore in the Cooper Union building in New York City beginning in 1886. They published their Handy Literal Translations late in the 19th century through the very early 20th century. Hinds & Noble became Barnes and Noble in 1917.
This little gem of a book was translated by Theodore Alois Buckley and includes "critical and illustrative notes" as well as a list of Hinds & Nobles publications at the back of the volume.
The book is in very good vintage condition showing typical wear. The brown cloth binding shows wear mostly around the corners and edges. Pages are clean.
