Greek Fictional Letters

Charles Desmond Nuttall Costa

3.4/5 ( ratings)

This book explores a relatively unfamiliar and under-appreciated area of Greek literature: imaginary letters written between about 100 BC and 500 AD. Many of them are light-hearted and funny, and describe the lives of ordinary people--fisherman, farmers, courtesans. Others look at more serious and philosophical aspects of life. All the letters are translated, and the notes offer help to both expert and less informed readers.

Pages: 216

Format: Hardcover
