In this clear and evocative account, John Gaskin unfolds the
thinking about nature, life, death and other worlds that informed
the culture and society of the Classical world, drawing out its
interest for modern readers. Witty sketches and diagrams enliven
the story, which runs from Homeric Greece to the banning of pagan
religions in ad 391. The book concludes with a gazetteer describing
notable sites and the people and ideas connected with them, making
it an ideal companion for visitors to Classical ruins and for all
armchair travellers curious to explore life's big questions.
