Plato and Aristotle both believed that the arts were mimetic
creations of the human mind that had the power to influence
society. In this they were representative of a widespread consensus
in ancient culture. Cultural and political impulses informed the
fine arts, and these in turn shaped--and were often intended to
shape--the living world. The contributors to this volume, all of
whom have been encouraged and inspired by the work of Peter Green,
document the interaction between life and the arts that has made
art more lively and life more artful in sixteen essays with
subjects ranging from antiquity to modern times.
With topics ranging from "Antigone" to D. H. Lawrence and Norman
Douglas, and from Bactrian coins to Livy's characterization of
women, the scope, the zest, and the scholarship of these essays
will illuminate new avenues in our understanding of the
relationship between classics and culture, and in our appreciation
of both the artistic products that have come down to us and the
varieties of life from which they spring.
