About this book

Confronting the Classics: Traditions, Adventures and Innovations by Beard, Mary. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781781250488.

Comprising updated versions of 31 essays published over the past two decades, this volume takes the reader on a provocative tour of what is happening now in Classics. Professor Beard reassesses old answers in scholarly debates concerning Greco-Roman antiquity; offers fresh interpretations of heroes and antiheroes, from the Greek poet Sappho to the emperor Hadrian; explores the evidence for ordinary Romans worries and ambitions; and asks what our modern responses to the ancient world say about us.
