About the Book:
A Short History of Greek Literature offers a concise yet thorough survey of Greek literature spanning twelve centuries. From the timeless epics of Homer to the rich array of authors from the imperial period up to Justinian, the book is divided into three key parts:
-
The Archaic and Classical Age: Focuses on the extraordinary creativity of the period, during which major literary genres—epic, lyric, tragedy, comedy, history, oratory, and philosophy—were born and flourished.
-
The Hellenistic Period: Covers the transformative years following Alexander the Great's conquests.
-
The High Empire and Late Antiquity: Highlights the shift towards classical status and the imperial period’s literature, full of allusions and contemporary references.
This book is an invaluable resource for readers looking for a deep yet accessible understanding of Greek literature's development, making it perfect for both students and general readers.
