Olympian Nights

Olympian Nights by John Kendrick Bangs is a quick-witted novel in which an American tourist visits Olympus. Excerpt: «While traveling through the classic realms of Greece some years ago, sincerely desirous of discovering the lurking place of a certain war which the newspapers of my own country were describing with some vividness, I chanced upon the base of the far-famed Mount Olympus. The night was coming on apace and I was tired, having been led during the day upon a wild-goose chase by my guide, who had assured me that he had definitely located the scene of hostilities between the Greeks and the Turks.»
