Very Short Introductions – Classics

Read by Tim Bentinck

abridged

A Very Short Introduction to Classics links a haunting temple on a lonely mountainside to the glory of ancient Greece and the grandeur of Rome, and to Classics within modern culture – from Jefferson and Byron to Asterix and Ben-Hur. ‘Statues and slavery, temples and tragedies, museum, marbles and mythology’ – this provocative guide to the Classics demystifies its varied subject-matter while seducing the reader with the obvious enthusiasm and pleasure which mark its writing.
