Tales of Ancient Greece by Sir George W. Cox (c.early 1900) | J.M. Dent Decorative Binding | Illustrated Mythology

A beautifully presented edition of Tales of Ancient Greece by Sir George W. Cox, published by J.M. Dent & Sons, featuring a richly decorative gilt spine set against a blue cloth binding.

This volume brings together classical Greek mythology—gods, heroes, and epic tales—in an accessible narrative format, including stories of Odysseus, Pandora, Perseus, and the Trojan War. The text is enhanced by striking decorative title pages and ornamental borders, characteristic of Dent’s finely produced early editions.

The binding remains visually appealing, with bright gilt detail to the spine, and the interior is clean and well-preserved. Binding very slightly loosened but intact. Light, pencil-eraser-sized stain to the front board as noted.

Condition: Good+

Size: 4” x 7”

A decorative volume of classical mythology, offering both visual charm and enduring literary interest.
