Authors of Greece

"Authors of Greece" by T. W. Lumb is an analytical study recognizing the enduring importance of ancient Greek writings, particularly for modern readers. The book highlights how Greek literature, with its themes of democracy, war, and the search for wisdom, mirrors similar challenges in today's world. Lumb aims to show that these old stories and the ideas within them are not just relics of the past but are greatly important for understanding European literature and society, a point supported in the introduction by Cyril Alington, which underscores the growing recognition of Greek literature. By investigating notable authors like Homer and Aeschylus, the book sets out to explore their lasting effect on how people have thought and written.
