DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe ancient Greeks have exercised the greatest influence on Western culture, and we are indebted to them for their artistic, dramatic and philosophical achievements. The Greek ideal of perfection, both intellectual and physical, pervades much of their literature. They were both idealistic and realistic and they contemplated man as a harmonious synthesis of these two attitudes. This anthology contains the most significant and uniquely interesting contributions of its literary legacy. The passages selected are either complete in themselves or are so self-contained as to be readily understandable. Here, in relevant sections, arranged chronologically, are selections from the poetry of Homer, Pindar, and Sappho, among others; from the drama of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes; from the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle; from the histories written by Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon. Oratory and Satire are represented by Demosthenes, Aesthines and Lucian. Biographical and explanatory notes precede each extract. Some of the translations have long been standard versions, while others are made by the editor himself. Dr. Wedeck has also edited the companion volume to this book, Classics of Roman Literature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOrality was the backbone of ancient Greek culture throughout its different periods. This volume will serve to deepen the reader’s knowledge of how Greek texts circulated during the Roman Empire. The studies included here approach the subject from both a literary and a sociocultural point of view, illuminating the interconnections between literary and social practices. Topics considered include epigraphy, the rhetoric of transmitting the texts, language and speech, performance, theatre, narrative representation, material culture, and the interaction of different cultures. Since orality is a widespread phenomenon in the Greek-speaking world of the Roman Empire, this book draws the reader’s attention to under-researched texts and inscriptions.
