Beschreibung

<b>A rigorously and imaginatively researched anthology of classical literature, bringing together one hundred stories from the rich diversity of the literary canon of ancient Greece and Rome. </b> Striking a balance between the 'classic classic' (such as Dryden's translation of the <i>Aeneid</i>) and the less familiar or expected, <i>Of Gods and Men</i> ranges from the epic poetry of Homer to the histories of Arrian and Diodorus Siculus and the sprawling <i>Theogony</i> of Hesiod; from the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides to the biographies of Suetonius and Plutarch and the pen portraits of Theophrastus; and from the comedies of Plautus to the fictions of Petronius and Apuleius. <i>Of Gods and Men</i> is embellished by translations from writers as diverse as Queen Elizabeth I (Boethius), Percy Bysshe Shelley (Plato), Walter Pater (Apuleius's <i>Golden Ass</i>), Lawrence of Arabia (Homer's <i>Odyssey</i>), Louis MacNeice (Aeschylus's <i>Agamemnon</i>) and Ted Hughes (Ovid's <i>Pygmalion</i>), as well as a number of accomplished translations by Daisy Dunn herself.
