What is Greek and Latin Literature: A Comparative Study about?
Greek and Latin Literature (1969) examines the two ancient literatures using a comparative method that recognizes their links – most Latin genres owe something to their Greek forebears. How far was Virgil influenced by Homer, Cicero by Demosthenes, Horace by Sappho? How far did their techniques differ? Did they share interests?
