Anthropology and the Classics: Six Lectures (1908) by R. R. Marett is a book that explores the relationship between anthropology and classical studies. The author, a British anthropologist, presents six lectures that examine the ways in which classical literature and culture have influenced the development of anthropology. Marett argues that the study of ancient Greek and Roman societies can provide valuable insights into human nature, and that anthropologists can learn much from the works of classical writers such as Homer, Plato, and Virgil. The lectures cover a range of topics, including the concept of the hero in classical literature, the role of religion in ancient societies, and the relationship between anthropology and archaeology. Marett's writing is clear and accessible, making this book an excellent introduction to the field of anthropology for students and general readers alike. Overall, Anthropology and the Classics is a thought-provoking and informative work that sheds light on the connections between two seemingly disparate fields of study.Lectures Delivered By Arthur J. Evans, Andrew Lang, Gilbert Murray, F. B. Jevons, J. L. Myres, W.
