| Abstract | Tackling a broad range of topics, from the presumed superiority of democracy to the momentum behind today's gay rights movement, the author presents an often daringly heterodox view of the Greek and Roman world that will provoke, surprise, and, at the same time, entertain readers. He shows how the interplay of fiction and reality, rhetorical aspiration and practical cunning, is threaded through modern culture. |
