In this book Jason Konig offers for the first time an accessible
yet comprehensive account of the multi-faceted Greek literature of
the Roman Empire, focusing especially on the first three centuries
AD. He 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, providing a vivid introduction to key texts, with extensive
quotation in translation. The challenges and pleasures these texts
offer to their readers have come to be newly appreciated in the
classical scholarship of the last two or three decades. In addition
there has been renewed interest in the role played by novelistic
and rhetorical writing in the Greek culture of the Roman Empire
more broadly, and in the many different ways in which these texts
respond to the world around them. This volume offers a broad
introduction to those exciting developments.
