The Classical World in Bite-sized Chunks

What are the names of the nine Muses? Why is a Pyrrhic victory so called? How funny is the world’s oldest joke-book, and who invented the first alarm clocks? In 101 short essays this entertaining introduction to classical Greek and Roman civilization surveys the ancient ideas and events that have shaped the Western world, ranging from mythology, literature and philosophy to extraordinary feats in the realms of warfare and technology.
