| Summary |
This book offers evidence that ancient Greek life was not only celebrated in great heroic epics, but was also commemorated in hundreds of artfully composed verse epitaphs. They have been preserved in anthologies and gleaned from weathered headstones. This book provides an engaging introduction to this corner of classical literature that continues to speak eloquently. -- Adapted from publisher's description |
