An anthology of classical literature, both non-fiction and fiction, bringing together one hundred stories from the rich diversity of the literary canon of ancient Greece and Rome.
'This anthology is hard to beat for big names' BBC History Magazine
'The book is perfect gift material but really, you should treat yourself to it first' Minerva.
'An excellent collection. Everyone needs to know the Classics, and this volume is a good place not just to start but also to continue and depend one's love for the Ancients' Catholic Herald.
'A big and wonderful read for anyone who loves classical literature ... Each story is a truly fascinating tale of wars, endless fighting, heroes, deaths, beautiful women – Helen features, of course – gods and goddesses, cruelty, pain and love. Some stories are in verse form. The author tells us she has chosen some 'classic classics' and some less familiar, and she has given us a fascinating book of 100 – well – stories' Pennant Magazine.
