A History of Ancient Greek Literature by Harold North Fowler

dee9401's review

3.0

Dated in both research & attitude, yet still has some interesting nuggets and useful as a companion reference. The sexism and colonialism is rampan as is the glorification of war (a la Horace et al). I expect that from a classics professor pre-World War I. Fowler reminds me of the old teacher in All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen Nichts Neues) by Erich Maria Remarque. But, I also found it like Wikipedia 99 years before Wikipedia launched
