Book Description:

This book consists of eight essays by six contributors exploring aspects of literature from the earliest surviving Greek poetry through to the drama, history, and philosophy of Greece under Roman rule. The theme drawing the essays together is that appreciation of Greek literature can be informed and influenced by attending to the 'receivers' of the literature, and by consideration of what it was originally appreciated for.
