About this listen
This guide provides rich introductions to the works to Homer, the Ancient Poets, Polybius, Julius Caesar, Cicero, Vitruvius, Sallust, Livy, Diodorus Siculus, Josephus, Plutarch, Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Appian and Ammianus.
Each chapter includes three components:
- Biography of the author – when they lived, with a brief description of the times and society they lived in, and the works they created.
- Recommended books to read – details on the authors who created the translation, and contributors who provided introductions, notes, maps, images, and similar educational aides, with publisher info to simplify accessing the books from publishers such as Penguin Classics, Oxford World’s Classics and Landmark Editions. See Print Resources at the end of the book. Links to online sources of the original works are included, such as those hosted by the Online Books at Penn Library, the Perseus Project at Tufts, and the Penelope site at U. Chicago. See Web Resources after Print Resources.
- Narrative on the content and generous excerpts for your consideration – these are not synopses or abridged versions of the works, these are simply guides to the originals. The samples are intended as aid to understanding the original author’s style, point of view, and intellectual approach. The sample quotes give you a sense of the final work created by the translator.
