Classical Considerations
The ancients knew that wisdom comes from sharing ideas with each other and
with those who have gone before. This book is such a sharing: 53 quotations
from ancient Greek and Latin authors, with English translations and
accompanied by a brief essay, poem, or explanation of context. Contributors
to Classical Considerations are a richly diverse group: classicists,
reporters, students, professors, teachers, a psychiatrist, a judge, Vietnam
veterans, a publisher, a minister, and a football coach. They show how the
words of the ancients have connected with their own understandings of the
world. Themes considered include fate, character, art, war, redemption after
suffering, and time.
