Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you're going to understand great literature, it helps to read and study great literature. And the fact is that some of the greatest literature ever written was done by the Classical Greeks. The trouble is, they came from a world so different from our own that reading their stories is often a challenge, since they take for granted things we may not know. So before or while you dive into the likes of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides or Aristophanes, a book like this one is a helpful tool to have. It makes sense of the authors of ancient Greece and their world, and it helps guide you to the good stuff.
And believe me, the good stuff in these old plays is better than good; it's the best ever.
