Author Description

Sertum is a Greek reading book specifically designed for fourth form students at Eton College, and was originally published in 1869. The book contains a variety of Greek texts, including extracts from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, as well as selections from other ancient Greek authors such as Herodotus and Plato. The texts are accompanied by detailed notes and explanations, making the book a useful tool for students who are still mastering the language. The title of the book, Sertum, refers to a garland or wreath of flowers, and may be a reference to the idea of students ""weaving"" together their knowledge of Greek literature and language. Overall, Sertum is an important resource for students of Greek literature and language, particularly those studying at Eton College.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
