Description

This volume collects the most recent essays of Richard Hunter, one of the world's leading experts in the field of Greek and Latin literature.

The essays range across all periods of ancient literature from Homer to late antiquity, with a particular focus not just on the texts in their original contexts, but also on how they were interpreted and exploited for both literary and more broadly cultural purposes later in antiquity.

Taken together, the essays sketch a picture of a continuous tradition of critical and historical engagement with the literature of the past from the period of Aristophanes and then Plato and Aristotle in classical Athens to the rich prose literature of the Second Sophistic.

Richard Hunter's earlier essays are collected in On Coming After (Berlin 2008).
