From the Author

"a magnificent achievement"--The Bookwatch
This new examination of original texts, poems, art, plays and historical documents from classical Greece offers a far more accessible format than most, providing source materials in a lively format for general readers and juxtaposing various social and literary elements of early Greek society. The resulting reader is a magnificent achievement which should appeal to both school and public library collections.--The Bookwatch
