5.0 out of 5 stars
Great introduction,
By magellan (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: History of Greek Literature (Hardcover)
Excellent work by outstanding scholar. Covers drama, poetry, history, philosophy, oratory, pretty much the whole gambit. Author dicusses literally hundreds of different writers. There is no way you will remember all of them, because besides the usual suspects like Herodotus, Homer, Thucydides, Sappho, Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus, Apuleius (author of The Golden Ass, and no, it's not about Bill Gates, no matter how rich he is), and so on, there are hundreds of others you've probably never heard of, but at least after you've read this book, you will have seen their names mentioned in some context and learned something about each of them, and a lot more about the more prominent ones such as those mentioned above. It just goes to show you how many classical authors' work got preserved, and makes me wonder what got lost in the fire at the library at Alexandria.
