Dan Crompton studied Classics and Linguistics at Cambridge University. He is the author of Caught Short (2013) and A Classical Primer (2012) and the translator (from the original Ancient Greek) of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: The World's Oldest Joke Book (2010).
What exactly are the Classics? Why were the ancient Greek and Roman cultures so important? And how have they influenced our modern-day lives?
Answering these questions and looking at everything from language, literature and philosophy to architecture, religion and pizza, this is a helpful guide to the culture and myriad achievements of these great civilizations.
With any reciting of Latin verbs entirely voluntary, this book will demonstrate that a basic knowledge of the Classics is not only essential but also endlessly fascinating.
