Louie M. Bell

Louie M. Bell is the author of Mythology in Marble, a 1901 book about classical mythology and sculpture. Public catalog records for the book also list the name as Louis M. Bell, so the author appears in both forms in modern records.

In that book, Bell brings together short retellings of Greek and Roman myths with discussions of well-known marble statues, aiming to help general readers enjoy art without needing a specialist background. The work was published by Educational Publishing Company in Boston and New York, and it remains available today through public-domain archives.

Reliable biographical details about Bell beyond this book are hard to confirm from the sources I found, so it is safest to remember the author mainly through this surviving work: a friendly early-20th-century introduction to myth, sculpture, and the stories artists carved into stone.
