Leo & Diane Dillon 1

Hephaestus, god of fire and artisans ( how appropriate! ) and Demeter, goddess of crops, giver of grain and fruit. Spot illustrations from "Classical Greece", Time-Life Books 1965.

Illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon.

Two of twenty four absolutely beautiful illustrations of Greek gods and heroes by the prolific and well loved husband and wife team. I grew up with these illos but had forgot about them until I dug out this book for research into a couple of spreads I'm doing involving ancient Greece. After 20 years I was blown away to see these amazing pieces again. My only problem with them is that their print size is so small, averaging about 2" x 2".
