In these essays the classicist author analyses aspects of modern culture through the lens of Greece and Rome, with topics including the evolving interpretation of Sappho’s sexuality, the connections between robots in Homer and films about Artificial Intelligence, and how writers’ lives intersect with their work. The book ends with a poignant account of Mendelsohn’s own teenage correspondence with historical novelist Mary Renault.
