A Cabinet of Greek Curiosities by J C Mckeown
Like its whimsical predecessor, A Cabinet of Greek Curiosities collects an assortment of peculiar facts and amusing anecdotes from the culture of Ancient Greece.
In a witty miscellany, McKeown acknowledges the idealised status of classical Greece, but brings it down to our brute level by quoting judiciously from its satirical poets, speculative philosophers, brutal princes and self-serving politicians* The Times *
Wide reading and an enquiring mind have supplied McKeown with a vast store of quirky information. * Eastern Daily Press *
