Summary

This book offers an accessible, comprehensive account of the multifaceted Greek literature of the Roman Empire, focusing especially on the first three centuries AD. It covers in turn the Greek novels of this period, the satirical writing of Lucian, rhetoric, philosophy, scientific and miscellanistic writing, geography and history, biography and poetry. Jason König provides a vivid introduction to key texts, with extensive quotation in translation, and looks beyond the most commonly studied authors to reveal the full richness of this period's literature.
