Beskrivelse: "Histories of Greek literature and Latin literature are legion, but they rarely answer the needs of present-day students or teachers. The separate treatment of the ancient literatures now seems artificial, so this book resorts to the comparative method which is more in keeping with the modern approaches.
Most Latin genres owe something to their Greek forebears. How far was Virgil influenced by Homer, Cicero by Demosthenes, Horace by Sappho and Alcaeus? How far did their techniques differ? How far did they share the same interests? These are questions that need to be asked by any student of literature and culture. Each contributor to this work aims to give som of the answers and guide the reader to further information and enlightenment."
