Publisher's Synopsis
A Companion to Classical Texts is a book written by Frederick William Hall and first published in 1913. It is a comprehensive guide to the study of classical texts, covering a wide range of topics such as ancient Greek and Roman literature, history, philosophy, and culture. The book is divided into two main parts: the first part provides an introduction to the study of classical texts, including discussions on the history of classical scholarship, the interpretation of texts, and the use of ancient sources. The second part of the book contains detailed analyses of specific classical texts, including works by Homer, Sophocles, Plato, and Virgil. Each chapter includes a summary of the text, a discussion of its historical and cultural context, and an analysis of its themes and literary techniques. The book is intended for students and scholars of classical studies, as well as anyone with an interest in ancient Greek and Roman literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
