What did the ancient Greeks eat and drink? What role did migration
play? Why was emperor Nero popular with the ordinary people but
less so with the upper classes? Why (according to ancient authors)
was Oedipus ('with swollen foot') so called? For over 2,000 years
the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome have captivated our
collective imagination and provided inspiration for so many aspects
of our lives, from culture, literature, drama, cinema, and
television to society, education, and politics. Many of the roots
of the way life is lived in the West today can be traced to the
ancient civilizations, not only in politics, law, technology,
philosophy, and science, but also in social and family life,
language, and art. Beautiful illustrations, clear and authoritative
entries, and a useful chronology and bibliography make this
Companion the perfect guide for readers interested in learning more
about the Graeco-Roman world. As well as providing sound
information on all aspects of classical civilization such as
history, politics, ethics, morals, law, society, religion,
mythology, science and technology, language, literature, art, and
scholarship, the entries in the Companion reflect the changing
interdisciplinary aspects of classical studies, covering broad
thematic subjects, such as race, nationalism, gender, ethics, and
ecology, confirming the impact classical civilizations have had on
the modern world.
