ART AND HISTORY
ATHENA ERGANE

This short selection is taken from the volume entitled _The Queen
of the Air_, in which Ruskin, fascinated by the deep significance
of the Greek myths and realizing the religious sincerity
underlying them, attempts to interpret those that cluster about
Athena. The book was published June 22, 1869. It is divided into
three "Lectures," parts of which actually were delivered as
lectures on different occasions, entitled respectively "Athena
Chalinitis" (Athena in the Heavens), "Athena Keramitis" (Athena
in the Earth), "Athena Ergane" (Athena in the Heart).
