Description

This volume ranges in time over a very long period and covers the Greeks' most original contributions to intellectual history.

It begins and ends with philosophy, but it also includes major sections on historiography and oratory.

Although each of these areas had functions which in the modern world would not be considered 'Literary', the ancients made a less sharp distinction between intellectual and artistic production, and the authors included in this volume are some of Europe's most powerful stylists: Plato, Herodotus, Thucydides and Demosthenes.
