Recommendations on ancient Greek and Roman literature?

May 25, 2007 by katchoo1 | Posted in Books & Authors

I would like to start reading some Greek and Roman literature. I conclude from the Iliad and Odyssey and some of the Greek plays way back in high school and college but not much beyond that. I'm not sure where to start or which are the most readable/least over my take charge of. Any suggestions or links for a good reading list and order to read in?

Presume from that. And for more book, check the "notes" section.
It's a start!

Enquire about out some books on Greek and Roman mythology at the library. Better yet, look at the library for books on that topic to see what is your speed to skim.

You could try Ovid's Metamorphosis. It's a important work.

And for something less poetic, Plutarch is very readable: the Parallel Lives. You learn a lot about history.

Then, Seneca. If you have not read his plays, you can try his decent works (On the Shortness of Life, On Providence).

Having also announce the Odyssey and the Iliad in high school, I recently read The Aeneid by Virgil, which is a story based after the Trojan war and ends with the progress of Rome. it is told from a "roman" perspective. Check it out!

I passion Suetonius' work. Cicero is also a fun read, b/c he can get really cocky. I would also reccommend Makers of Rome, but I can't off the top of my head about the author.

Although this is not Greek literature, restriction out Margaret Atwood's "The Penelopiad" which flips "The Odyssey" over and tells the contention from Penelope's POV. It's really readable and quick.

I strongly recommend "The Orestia" by Aeschylus, the Oedipus recycle by Sophocles, as well as the dialogues of Sophocles/Plato if you haven't read those already.

what are the 4 periods of the ancient roman literature?

Sep 27, 2007 by mikami | Posted in Mythology & Folklore


Ancient Literary Latin

The Primitive Period (240-70 bc). This period includes the writings of Ennius, Plautus, and Terence.

The Golden Age (70 bc-ad14). This aeon is famed for the prose works of Julius Caesar, Cicero, and Livy and for the poetry of Catullus, Lucretius, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. During this duration, in both prose and poetry, the Latin language developed into a highly artistic medium of expression and attained its greatest richness and tractability.

The Silver Age (14-130). This period is characterized by a striving both for rhetorical elaboration and ornament and for concise and epigrammatic phraseology, the latter qualities being found especially in the works of the philosopher and dramatist Seneca and in those of the historian Tacitus.

The Late Latin While Extending from the 2nd century to the 6th century ad (circa 636), this period includes the Patristic Latin of the Fathers of the Church. During the Lately Latin period invading barbarian tribes brought into the language numerous foreign forms and idioms; this corrupted Latin was termed the lingua Romana and was eminent from the lingua Latina, the classical tongue cultivated by the learned.

Favorite ancient Roman or Greek literature/history?

Feb 23, 8766 by Subcomandante Insurgente Steve | Posted in Books & Authors

Unbiased wondering if there are any classics fans here. I'm partial to Virgil for poetry and Suetonius for history. What about you?
I don't think you quite tolerate the *drink* concept, but if you insist...

*drink*
Yes, unfortunately "The Twelve Caesars" is the only extant full work by Suetonius. The rest is only sketchy. The really sad part is that we know that he wrote several other full works which are most likely lost forever.

I've only be familiar with The Twelve Caesars by Seutonius. I thought it was a fascinating account.

I agree about Homer. I read both The Iliad and The Odyssey years ago and enjoyed them.

Unfortunately, though I've presume from some other works, I'm not as well-read as I should be where the ancient Greeks and Romans are concerned. I haven't even gotten around to reading Plato's Republic, though I have a facsimile.

I suppose I better get on the stick!

***Edit: I didn't know that about Seutonius. It's amazing and a shame how much is left out of conspicuous education. Most of the reading of the greats I've done has been apart from school.
