First published in 1909, in an era of receding interest in
Classical authors, this volume aimed to encourage a renewed
interest in the Classics through shared emotion, humanity and the
everyday. Attributing the disinterest to a lack of familiarity and
a public difficulty for empathising with antiquity, Clark believed
literature of the day owed a great deal to the Classical authors,
and that its techniques could only be fully understood through
their example. He chose Theophrastos, a philosopher and sketch
artist, Herodas, a writer of mimes, and the Thebes tablet, a
dialogue, with the hope that they would demonstrate how vividly
changeless the nature of men and women can be. These translations
were designed to be popular and readable, with nothing obscure for
the light reader, in order to encourage rediscovery of literature's
Classical roots.
