Book Description

Interpretation of ancient Greek literature is often distorted by the preconceptions of modern times. The best insights on ancient Ethics, therefore, can be found in those who have confined themselves to the terms of each ancient author's analysis. If we are to understand properly the texts, we have to view them in their historical and social context. From this principle each of the contributions of the volume begins.
