Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Volume 97: Greece in Rome: Influence, Integration, Resistance

By: Segal, Charles

Volume 97 of Harvard Studies in Classical Philology is a special issue, entitled "Greece in Rome," comprising revised versions of papers presented at a Loeb Classical Conference on the question of the Greek influence on Roman culture, with a particular though not exclusive emphasis on the Augustan period. The papers reflect the complexity of the relationship between the cultures involved--Greek, Roman, and Italic--and span many fields: history, literature, philosophy, linguistics, religion, and the visual arts.
