{"product_id":"the-classical-tradition-harvard-university-press-reference-library","title":"The Classical Tradition (Harvard University Press Reference Library)","description":"“A vast cabinet of curiosities.”―Stephen Greenblatt\n\n“Eclectic rather than exhaustive, less an encyclopedia than a buffet.”―Frederic Raphael, Literary Review\n\nHow do we get from the polis to the police? Or from Odysseus’s sirens to those of an ambulance? The legacy of ancient Greece and Rome is all around us, imitated, resisted, reworked, and misunderstood. In this beautifully illustrated and encyclopedic compendium, a team of leading scholars investigates the afterlife of this rich heritage in the fields of literature, philosophy, art, architecture, history, politics, religion, and science.\n\nFrom Academy to Zoology, Aristotle and the Argonauts to Pegasus and Persia, The Classical Tradition looks at facts and adages, people, places, and ideas to reveal how the Classical tradition has shaped human endeavors from government to medicine, drama to urban planning, legal theory to popular culture. At once authoritative and accessible, learned and entertaining, it illuminates the vitality of these enduring influences.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0674035720\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0674035720.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Grafton, Anthony|Most, Glenn W.|Settis, Salvatore\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
