Masterpieces of Ancient Greek Literature by David J. Schenker
Requirements: .M4B reader, 526 MB
Overview: The ancient Greeks left the world that came after them – particularly our own and our ways of seeing it – an incalculable legacy. Mention politics, philosophy, law, medicine, history, even the visual arts, and we barely scratch the surface of what we owe this extraordinary culture. How can we best learn about these people who have given us so much, who have deepened and enriched our understanding of ourselves, and whose world remains far closer than we might imagine? Professor Schenker opens up to us the epics of Homer; the dramatic genius of the playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes; and the poems of Archilochus, Sappho, and many others. He includes some of the world’s greatest works of history and philosophy, and he gives rhetoric and oratory their proper due, as well.Beginning with Homer and the two great epics credited to him, the Iliad and the Odyssey – including a provocative discussion of whether Homer even existed – Professor Schenker offers a wide-ranging overview of the subject that is both instructive and entertaining, rich in anecdote, so that the works are set against a vivid backdrop of their times, as exemplified by his description of the debut of Aeschylus’s the Eumenides, first staged in Athens in 458 B.C.E.
