The Shadow of the Parthenon by Peter Green
Covering both history and literature, Greece and Rome, this title features studies that range from the real nature of Athenian society to poets as diverse as Sappho and Juvenal, and all of them, without laboring any parallels, make the ancient world immediately relevant to our own.
