Who were the key figures in the first democracy of the Western World? Who is the father of tragedy? Who is the father of history?

The history, philosophy and literature continue to intrigue and enthral. Now John Hazel has compiled the definitive biographical guide to the Greek and Hellenistic world from 750 BC to the end of the Roman Empire. The lives of Alexander the Great, Socrates and Plato are opened up, giving a thorough and fascinating overview of life in Ancient Greece. og Who's Who in the Roman World is a wide-ranging biographical survey of one of the greatest civilizations in history. Covering a period from the 5th century BC to AD 364, this is an authoritative and hugely enjoyable guide to an era which continues to fascinate today. The figures included come from all walks of Roman life and include some of history's most famous - not to mention infamous - figures as well as hitherto little-known, but no less fascinating, characters. These include : - the notorious emperors - Caligula; Nero; Elagabalus; Commodus - the great poets, philosophers and historians - Virgil; Tacitus; Seneca; Ovid - the brilliant politicians and soldiers - Hannibal; Scipio; Caesar; Mark Antony; Constantine - noteworthy citizens - Acte, mistress of Nero; Catiline, the revolutionary; Spartacus, champion of the slaves; Gaius Verres, the corrupt governor of Sicily. The inclusion of cross-referencing, a glossary of terms, select bibliographies, maps, genealogies complete a superb reference. --- Jeg har også Who's Who in the Middle Ages og de helt store Latin og Græsk ordbøger fra Oxford University Press.
