Superb translation of the grandest poem ever written

The story of a tragic life, told in plays written decades apart from each other. IMO the zenith of Greek drama

Very fine translations of these sometimes very strange plays

Racy, sexy, passionate, rude, offensive, mean-minded - Latin poetry at its most intimate

Latin poetry at its most, well, Roman. As Borges once said, one of the very few times someone set out to write a masterpiece and succeeded

Mmm...steamy. Greek lyric poetry written by herself of Lesbos. Fragmentary but beautiful

The strangest society in Greece as interpreted centuries later by someone who had never been there in its heyday. Not totally reliable but fascinating

The nutcases who ruled Rome. Fascinating and appalling reading
