Jeffrey M. Duban The Lesbian lyre
reclaiming Sappho for the 21st century
Sappho is antiquity's greatest lyric poet. Born over 2,600 years ago on the Greek island of Lesbos, and writing amorously of women and men alike, she is the namesake lesbian. What's left of her writing, and what we know of her, is fragmentary. Shrouded in mystery, she is nonetheless repeatedly translated and discussed by all. Duban provides an overview of Sappho's times and themes, exploring her eroticism and Greek homosexuality overall.

Emily Wilson The greatest empire
a life of Seneca
"The life and works of Seneca pose a number of fascinating challenges. For one thing, how can we reconcile the bloody, passionate tragedies, with the prose works advocating a life of Stoic tranquility? An even more challenging question is, how are we to reconcile Seneca the Stoic philosopher, the man of principle, who advocated a life of calm and simplicity, with Seneca the man of the moment, who amassed a vast personal fortune in the service of an emperor seen by many, at the time and afterwards,...

Adam Nicolson The mighty dead
why Homer matters
Where does Homer come from? And why does Homer matter? His epic poems of war and suffering can still speak to us of the role of destiny in life, of cruelty, of humanity and its frailty, but why they do is a mystery. How can we be so intimate with something so distant?

Sarah B. Pomeroy Pythagorean women
their history and writings
This book discusses the principles that Pythagoras established for family life in Archaic Greece, such as constituting a single standard of sexual conduct for women and men.
