| Sumario: | What happened to Greek literature after the classical period - when Sophocles, Plato, and Demosthenes were just a memory?

Covering popular fiction, poetry, and Greco-Jewish material, it argues for a rich, dynamic, and diverse culture that cannot be reduced to a simple model of continuity. |
