Excerpt from The Burton Holmes Lectures, Vol. 3 of 10: With Illustrations From Photographs by the Author

T IS a mistaken belief that he who knows not ancient Greece, as revealed in the immortal works of poetry, philosophy, and art, he who has not spent his life in the companionship of the Greek classics, he who cannot in his own soul realize the Greece of old, is not fitted to approach her shores. The Olympian Games were the excuse for my intrusion into the land of the scholar and the archaeologist. I knew too well that I would bring to Greece only a love of travel, an eye not wholly blind to beauty, and a deep respect for the history, the letters, and the art of Greece.
