Or from Odysseus' sirens to an ambulance's? The legacy of ancient Greece & Rome has been imitated, resisted, misunderstood, & reworked by every culture that followed. In this volume some 500 articles by a wide range of scholars investigate the afterlife of this rich heritage in the fields of literature, philosophy, art, architecture, history, politics, religion, & science. Arranged alphabetically from Academy to Zoology, the essays (designed & written to serve scholars, students, & the general reader alike) show how the Classical tradition has shaped human endeavors from art to government, mathematics to medicine, drama to urban planning, legal theory to popular culture. At once authoritative & accessible, learned & entertaining, comprehensive & surprising, & accompanied by and extensive selection of illustrations, this guide illuminates the vitality of the Classical tradition that surrounds us today.
