DESCRIPTION
Essays on Ancient Greece and Rome The study of Greco-Roman civilisation is as exciting and innovative today as it has ever been. This intriguing collection of essays by contemporary classicists reveals new discoveries, new interpretations and new ways of exploring the experiences of the ancient world. Through one and a half millennia of literature, politics, philosophy, law, religion and art, the classical world formed the origin of western culture and thought. This book emphasises the many ways in which it continues to engage with contemporary life. Offering a wide variety of authorial style, the chapters range in subject matter from contemporary poets' exploitation of Greek and Latin authors, via newly discovered literary texts and art works, to modern arguments about ancient democracy and slavery, and close readings of the great poets and philosophers of antiquity. This engaging book reflects the current rejuvenation of classical studies and will fascinate anyone with an interest in western history.
Presents a collection of essays by contemporary classicists, revealing different discoveries, interpretations and ways of exploring the experiences of the ancient world. The chapters range in subject matter from contemporary poets' exploitation of Greek and Latin authors to modern arguments about ancient democracy and slavery.
