Description
Book SynopsisFeatures essays by scholars from across academic disciplines - classicists and historians, philosophers and political theorists, literary scholars - engaging with classical texts to understand how differently they were read in other times and places. Contributors articulate difficult but necessary questions about contemporary conceptions of war and conflict.
Trade ReviewThe chapters reflects an unusual degree of thoughtfulness as well as sound scholarship. The collection will appeal to a much broader group than the academic community. All the chapters are readable by an educated general public, and the topics covered are timely and provocative.” —Rosemary Moore, University of Iowa
"The topics are interesting, and thought provoking ... The book is neatly structured, split into three sections and brought together by a thorough introduction and insightful epilogue." - Owen Rees,
