Beschrijving A Book of Greek Life

A Book of Greek Life: The Ancient World Through Epigram brings its readers into the realities and imaginations of the ancient world through its social media - the little poems we call epigrams. Epigram captures moments from ordinary and extraordinary ancient lives, inviting us to work, play, mourn, honour the gods, and fall in love alongside the ancients. Classical translator and scholar Gideon Nisbet presents hundreds of freshly made translations, each of which sparks a short essay packed with insights about a lost world that shapes us even as we shape it. A Book of Greek Life is made for non-specialists and for browsing.
