Myths, Muses and Mortals gives new insight into a multitude of life experiences in ancient Greece. The book introduces the lives of the ancient Greeks through extracts taken from a range of sources, including poems, plays, novels, histories, lawsuits, inscriptions and private note-tablets. The voices speak for themselves in fresh translation, but in addition William Furley gives the narratives historical context and illuminates the literary genre in which they appear.
