Here are the wonders of the Greek world presented in a modern, accessible manner, perfect for those looking to refresh their acquaintance with the classics and for those who have yet to explore the exciting intellectual energy of the ancient Greek world. The Classical Greek Reader marks an exciting departure from the traditional anthology approach to Greek literature and thought. By focusing not only on the 'big names' but also on the less-familiar voices - the women, doctors, storytellers, herbalists, and romance writers - we are offered a glimpse of ancient Greece as we have rarely seen it.
