Book Description
This is the first general study of the earliest writers of Greek prose for students and teachers alike. It looks at history, medicine, science, philosophy and rhetoric and asks why and how these new genres of writing came about in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. It is thus a study of the Greek enlightenment, exploring how literary history and social and political history interact. Written in a lively and clear style, it makes a perfect introduction to the classical world of Athens.
