From the publisher

A paperback anthology of essential Greek and Latin texts with facing English translations.

"It is ideal reading for bar, bus, bed or beach. Everyone, teacher and taught alike, should have one. It is this year's must-have present."--The Journal of Classics Teaching

This selection of lapidary nuggets drawn from thirty-three of antiquity's major authors includes poetry, dialogue, philosophical writing, history, descriptive reporting, satire, and fiction--giving a glimpse at the wide range of arts and sciences, styles and convictions, of Greco-Roman culture. The selections span twelve centuries, from Homer to Saint Jerome. They are given in two sequences in roughly chronological order, the Greeks first, followed by the Romans. The texts and translations are reproduced as they appear in Loeb volumes; footnotes have been reduced in keeping with the needs of this compact sampling. An index to the passages is at the end.

The Loeb Classical Library is the only existing series that, through original text and facing English translation, gives access to all that is important in Greek and Latin literature. This reader can do no more than represent a small portion of the riches in that treasury.
