From the days of Crete's vast Aegean empire to the final extirpation of the last remnants of Greek liberty, crushed under the heel of an implacably forward-marching Rome. The dry minutiae of battles and sieges, of tortuous statecraft of tyrant and king, get the minor emphasis in what is preeminently a vivid recreation of Greek culture, brought to the reader through the medium of supple, vigorous prose.

Literature from the literate 5th century Greece. Form and order and beauty! A complex simplicity!

Who knew Dido was so rich? Is this the same Dido who couldn’t live without her boyfriend and killed herself on a funeral pyre?

Very interesting! Who knew Dido owned property? The same girl who couldn’t go on in life without her boyfriend and burned herself on a pyre?
