CIVILIZATION IN ALL ITS ASPECTS. For more than 2000 years the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome have captivated imagination and provided fresh inspiration for every age. Now, for the first time, The Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization distils the fruits of recent scholarship to provide the most up~to~date and authoritative survey of the Greek and Roman worlds in all their aspects. Drawing on the latest edition of the highly praised Oxford Classical Dictionary, this new illustrated Oxford Companion offers unrivalled access to the latest knowledge of classical civilization, making it the perfect guide for general readers interested in learning more about the very bedrock of Western culture.

ETHICS AND MORALS, LAW AND PUNISHMENT ~ individual philosophers and their schools, and ethical issues, such as corruption; prison; torture; abortion; attitudes to animals, to wealth, or to warfare; suicide; freedom; and intellectual or religious intolerance.

LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, ART, AND SCHOLARSHIP ~ writers and poets, orators and playwrights, literacy and books, archives and education, literary genres, painting and sculpture, and the writing of history.

MAJOR ESSAYS & BRILLIANT ILLUSTRATION ~ specially designed articles on the individuals and themes of central importance provide a useful overview for the modern reader from Alexander to Xenophon, Cicero, and Hannibal; and from the histories of Greece and Rome to Christianity, and architecture.
