Offering a wide variety of authorial style, the chapters range in subject matter from contemporary poets'' exploitation of Greek and Latin authors, via newly discovered literary texts and art works, to modern arguments about ancient democracy and slavery, and close readings of the great poets and philosophers of antiquity.
