morality and custom in ancient Greece

Edición de la obra Salt and olives

"John Dillon's exploration of Athenian society brings to life how the ancient Greeks behaved towards each other. In each chapter two or more stories drawn from ancient sources give contrasting perspectives on the Greeks' attitudes and beliefs, and to discussions of the works of literature, history, and philosophy they used to beguile and guide their lives." "This book shows the practical outcomes of ancient Greek thought and literature and how the strange and familiar are mixed in the customs and habits of people living two and a half thousand years ago."--BOOK JACKET.
