Description:...

Greek and Latin Literature (1969) examines the two ancient literatures using a comparative method that recognizes the links between them - 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? Each contributor to this volume aims to answer such questions.
