Zusammenfassung: | "Focusing exclusively on real people, this is an alphabetical dictionary of ancient biography, covering Greek and Roman history and politics, literature, philosophy, science, and art. Entries are fully cross-referenced, the shorter ones providing lucid factual accounts, while the longer entries are short essays in themselves, covering major historical and cultural themes in antiquity, centred round individuals as varied as Herodotus, Socrates, Plato, Alexander the Great, and Augustus."--BOOK JACKET. |
